- South Africa is moving toward mandatory electronic invoicing and real-time VAT reporting, considering a Peppol-style model.
- The initiative is based on the 2025 Draft Tax Administration Laws Amendment Bill, with stakeholder consultations and technical work planned through 2026–2027 and full rollout by 2028.
- The approach aligns with global best practices seen in France, Belgium, and Latin America.
- Businesses and service providers are urged to prepare early for the transition to real-time e-invoicing.
- South Africa has not yet appointed a formal Peppol Authority.
