VAT and SARS Compliance Services in Johannesburg

Accurate VAT submissions depend on complete accounting records, valid supporting documents and properly reconciled VAT information.

MC Accounting & Taxation provides VAT processing and recurring SARS compliance services for VAT-registered owner-managed businesses across Johannesburg.

VAT Services

Depending on the agreed scope, our VAT service can include:

  • Review of VAT transactions

  • Input and output VAT checks

  • VAT control-account reconciliation

  • Review of tax invoices and supporting documents

  • Identification of missing or unclear VAT records

  • VAT201 preparation and submission

  • Communication of the VAT amount payable or refundable

  • Supporting schedules for the relevant VAT period

  • Routine VAT deadline monitoring

VAT work is based on the accounting records and supporting documents provided.

VAT and Monthly Bookkeeping

VAT should not be treated as a calculation completed only when the return becomes due.

Consistent monthly bookkeeping helps ensure that:

  • Transactions are recorded in the correct period

  • Supporting documents are identified

  • VAT control accounts are reconciled

  • Missing information is followed up

  • The VAT return agrees to the accounting records

VAT services can be provided as part of a Monthly Accounting package or, where appropriate, as a separately scoped service.
