Abridged tax invoice allowed: total is R5,000 or less. Client details remain useful when known.

Built-in checks

Clean totals. Clear tax treatment.

VAT rounds per line

Each line's net and VAT are rounded before totals are added, preventing one-cent mismatches.

R5,000 changes the rules

A VAT invoice above R5,000 requires the recipient's name and address. Lower totals may use an abridged invoice.

VAT numbers are checked

The tool accepts the South African format of 10 digits starting with 4. It does not confirm registration status.

Numbering stays your responsibility

Keep issued invoice and quote numbers unique and sequential in your accounting system; this browser tool does not maintain a permanent ledger.

When a calculator is not enough

Put your monthly finance admin in expert hands.

Smartbook handles monthly accounting, reporting, payroll and tax support from R3,000 per month.
