- South Africa is moving toward mandatory electronic invoicing and real-time VAT reporting as part of SARS’s VAT Modernisation program.
- The new system will shift tax oversight from periodic audits to continuous, system-driven monitoring.
- A hybrid, interoperable framework is planned, likely using a Peppol-style 5-corner model with structured e-invoices and accredited service providers.
- The initiative aligns with global best practices and trends in digital tax compliance.
- A phased rollout will start in 2026–2027, with full implementation expected by 2028.
