With our simple invoice templates, half the work is done for you. All that’s required is for you to fill in the blanks.
Do you need a VAT invoice template?
Our set of templates include versions for businesses that charge VAT as well as those that don’t.
It is mandatory for any business to register for VAT If your business income earned in any consecutive twelve month period exceeded or is likely to exceed R1 million. Any business may choose to register voluntarily if the income earned, in the past twelve month period, exceeded R50 000, you will need to register for VAT with SARS. Once you’re registered, you must charge the applicable tax rate on any products or services you sell.
If you’re VAT-registered, just use the VAT versions of the templates and you’ll have the peace of mind that all of your invoices are SARS-compliant.
Mastering your money
Using professional, compliant invoice templates is a great step towards properly managing your business finances.
But wouldn’t it be great if you could generate and send professional, personalised invoices from anywhere as you process orders? You could say goodbye to manually completing, saving and sending invoices – freeing up time to work on your business instead of in it. Find out how with ERP Accounting Packages.
When you create and send invoices within an Accounting software, you’ll also create a record of all your orders, customers and outstanding payments at the same time. No more manually entering orders, chasing lost pieces of paperwork and stressing every time you have a tax deadline due.
