VAT201
Finance → VAT201 is the filing register: every VAT201 return recorded for an employer, with the figures each period carried.
Picking the employer
Choose the legal entity in the Employer picker. VAT is a liability of the legal entity, so the register is per employer.
Reading the table
| Column | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Period | The filing period code |
| Output VAT | VAT charged on sales in the period |
| Input VAT | VAT reclaimable on purchases |
| Net VAT | Output minus input — what was payable to (or refundable by) SARS |
| Filed | When the return was filed |
Where the figures come from
The VAT amounts are drawn from posted transactions in the ledger — the same postings that drive the Trial Balance. There is nothing to recompute at filing time; the register records what each period's books said.
