| How are VAT returns submitted to the tax authorities? | VAT returns (known as 'VAT201 declarations' in South Africa) must be completed by vendors (ie South African VAT registered persons) and submitted to the South African Revenue Service (SARS) at the end of every tax period. The returns must be submitted electronically via the SARS eFiling service:

Vendors who are registered for eFiling must request their VAT201 declarations electronically via the eFiling service so that they can be made available on their eFiling profiles. A unique 19-digit Payment Reference Number (PRN) is pre-populated on the VAT201 by SARS and this PRN must be used when making a VAT payment to SARS. |
