VAT 201 Wizard: Manual Submission of VAT201
Description

A regular Sage Accounting or Sage Accounting – Accounting Edition user will have the ability to only generate a Manual VAT 201 report for a Closed VAT Period. This means that the user will be able to generate a VAT 201 report in Pdf format that can be used to reconcile or do a manual submission on the SARS E-filing website.

Resolution

To initiate the VAT 201 Wizard, click on Reports > VAT:

 

  • In the VAT 201 Wizard column, click on view for the specific VAT Period the VAT 201 Report need to be generated for.

This will automatically initiate the Sage Compliance Cloud VAT 201 Wizard’s first page in a new browser tab:

  • The VAT Period Start Date and the End Date should already be populated based on the selected VAT Period in Sage Accounting, and once the user confirmed these dates, the user can click on the Create VAT201 button.
  • Next the user will be able to review and update the details of the Contact person and Tax Practitioner.

  • Once the user has confirmed the details that will be contained in the VAT 201 report, click on Next.

 

On the next screen of the VAT 201 Wizard, the user should be able to review and edit the generated VAT 201 financials:

  • To make a manual adjustment to the VAT 201 report, click on Edit.

  • Complete the Adjust amount by value and add a Reason for adjustment and then click on the Make Adjustments button.
  • Once the user has confirmed the details that will be contained in the VAT 201 report, click on Generate PDF.
  • Sage Compliance Cloud will confirm that the VAT 201 Report has been generated successfully:

  • Click on Finish and close this window.

This will reroute the user back to the VAT Returns and Reports screen in Sage Accounting.

 

Very Important Note:

Please ensure that any manual VAT adjustments you made on the VAT 201 report are also captured in Sage Accounting to ensure your software reconciles to the actual VAT return submitted. Sage Accounting won’t automatically capture these transactions since additional details would be necessary. A ‘Manual Adjustments’ excel file is automatically downloaded at the end of the Wizard to assist you with this.
