Estimates are marked accordingly. ## South Africa accounting compliance requirements South Africa runs a mature SARS eFiling regime for VAT at a standard 15% rate, and as of September 2026 it has not yet mandated e-invoicing but SARS is actively consulting on a phased, Peppol-based VAT modernisation model with no live requirement yet in force. ### VAT rate and registration The standard VAT rate is 15%, with compulsory registration required above R2.3 million in annual turnover and voluntary registration available from R120,000, effective 1 April 2026. [South African Revenue Service (SARS)](https://www.sars.gov.za/types-of-tax/value-added-tax/) ### VAT201 e-filing Registered VAT vendors submit periodic VAT201 declarations electronically through the SARS eFiling platform. [South African Revenue Service (SARS)](https://www.sars.gov.za/types-of-tax/value-added-tax/) ### VAT modernisation consultation On 17 August 2026, SARS published a consultation paper proposing a five-corner e-invoicing and near-real-time VAT reporting model using accredited service providers and Peppol-based standards, with public comments due by 16 October 2026. [South African Revenue Service (SARS) media release](https://www.sars.gov.za/media-release/sars-invites-public-input-on-a-new-digital-vat-model-to-modernise-vat-administration/) ### E-invoicing not yet mandatory As of the August 2026 consultation, South Africa has no live e-invoicing mandate; any rollout is proposed to start with large taxpayers on a voluntary basis before broader phased adoption later in the decade.
