What makes a slip valid

SARS needs different slips for different amounts.

R50 or less

A normal till slip is fine.

Over R50, up to R5,000: abridged tax invoice

• The words "tax invoice"
• The shop's name, address and VAT number
• A serial number and date
• What was bought
• The amount, and the VAT or a note that VAT is included

Over R5,000: full tax invoice

Everything above, plus your name (or your business's), address and VAT number if you're registered, and the quantity of what was bought. Ask for it at the till.

Thermal till slips fade within months. Snap them on the day: the photo is your record.
