South Africa VAT201
SARS VAT201 return computation and eFiling-ready export
Compute your SARS VAT201 declaration straight from your Odoo accounting data and export an eFiling-ready capture file. Full official field structure, SARS tax categories, VAT-number validation and general-ledger reconciliation — for Odoo 18 & 19.
Every VAT201 field, computed for you
Output tax
Standard-rated supplies (field 1) and capital supplies (1A), zero-rated local (2) and exports (2A), exempt and non-supplies (3), output VAT (4 / 4A), imported services (5 / 6), output adjustments (7) and total output tax (field 12).
Input tax & net
Capital acquisitions (14 / 14A), other goods and services (15 / 15A), change in use (16), bad debts (17), adjustments (18), total input tax (19), the diesel refund concession (20 / 21) and the net payable / refundable position (field 22).
Built for SARS compliance
Tax categories A–E
Bi-monthly (odd / even month-ends), monthly, six-monthly and twelve-monthly periods with correct bounds and statutory due dates: the last business day of the following month for eFiling / EFT, the 25th for manual submissions.
VAT-number validation
South African VAT numbers (10 digits, leading 4) are validated on the company and on partners, so malformed numbers are caught before they reach the return. SARS publishes no VAT checksum, so only the documented structure is enforced (an optional mod-10 self-check is available for typo screening).
GL reconciliation
The computed return is reconciled against the VAT actually booked on your tax accounts for the period, flagging any discrepancy before you file.
eFiling-ready export
Export an eFiling capture CSV — one row per SARS field code with description and value — to type or bulk-capture into eFiling without ambiguity, plus an Excel workbook laid out in the official VAT201 block ordering for review and record-keeping. No external account or credentials are required: the module works entirely from your own Odoo data.
How it works
- Map your sale and purchase taxes to the matching VAT201 field.
- Set your SARS VAT category (and diesel refund rate if applicable).
- Open Accounting → South Africa VAT201 → New Return, pick any date in the period and compute.
- Review the fields, check the reconciliation note, then export the eFiling CSV or Excel.
- Mark the return Filed, then Paid / Refunded.
