VAT-ready for South Africa
Most accounting tools leave you scrambling at VAT time — hunting for receipts, re-checking totals, and hoping the numbers tie out before the VAT201 is due. Tallium tracks output and input VAT on every sale and purchase as you trade, so your books stay SARS-ready and your return is a review, not a rebuild. One platform for accounting, invoicing, and VAT — priced in USD, billed monthly, no free trial.

Key takeaways
When the return is due you're reconstructing months of sales and expenses, cross-checking VAT on each line, and worrying you've missed input VAT you were entitled to claim. It eats days you'd rather spend running the shop.
Supplier invoices pile up as paper or photos on your phone, and without a valid tax invoice captured properly you can't claim the input VAT. Money you're owed quietly leaks away every cycle.
Spreadsheets drift out of sync, VAT gets applied inconsistently, and you only find the gaps when a query or an audit lands. The uncertainty follows you around all year.
Turnover creeps toward the SARS registration threshold and you're not tracking it in real time. By the time you notice you may already be liable, with catch-up admin and stress you didn't plan for.
Tallium applies the correct VAT rate to each sale and purchase as it happens and separates output VAT from input VAT for you. Your VAT position is always current, so preparing the VAT201 becomes a quick review of totals you can trust.
Snap a photo of a supplier invoice and Tallium's receipt scanning reads the details and files it against the expense. Every valid tax invoice is captured, so your input VAT claims are complete when the return is due.
Sales, expenses, and bank activity flow into one tidy ledger with VAT tracked consistently throughout. Your records line up with what SARS eFiling expects, ready to support your VAT201 or any query.
Live reports show your rolling turnover so you can watch it approach the SARS registration threshold (voluntary registration is available from R50,000). You decide when to register on your terms — not after a scramble. Confirm current rules with SARS or a local tax professional.
