SARS does not allow the submission of a VAT 201 report that contains an invalid or non-existent VAT Registration Number. Although the old in-system VAT 201 Report allows a user to generate the report, the VAT 201 Wizard will not allow for the same.

Note: Only users with permissions to Change Company Settings will be able to capture this information.

To capture this information, follow these simple steps:

Click on Company > Change Company Settings > VAT Settings > VAT Settings:

• Verify or complete the VAT Number in the VAT Details section.

          A valid VAT Number will contain 10 numeric characters – no alphanumeric, spaces or special characters.

• Click on Save
