VAT doesn’t have to be a mystery or a monthly panic. This practical session takes you step-by-step through the process of reconciling your VAT control account to your VAT201 returns. You’ll learn how to pick up timing differences, check journal accuracy, and make sure your records reflect what’s been submitted to SARS. Using real examples and simple tools, this session shows how to find and fix the most common mistakes before they become penalties. Get your VAT process under control — and make sure what’s in your books matches what’s on your return.
