- The Act amends the VAT Act, 1991 to support a voluntary e-reporting system, make technical corrections, and expand the Minister’s regulatory powers, effective 1 April 2026.
- The amendments lay the foundation for a South African e-invoicing and e-reporting infrastructure, with operational details to be set by Ministerial Regulations for flexibility.
- New definitions for e-invoice, e-debit note, and e-credit note are added, requiring these documents to be issued, transmitted, and received in a structured, machine-readable electronic format, and to comply with further requirements prescribed by the Minister.
