The global push towards digital transformation is accelerating, and South African enterprises are rapidly embracing automation to improve efficiency, enhance financial visibility and reduce operational risks. From finance to supply chain management, businesses are recognising that manual processes are no longer sustainable in a fast-moving digital economy.
Now, this shift is transforming tax and compliance management, with VAT digitalisation emerging as a critical area for automation.
"Digitalisation is no longer just about convenience – it’s about survival in a data-driven world," says Alan Sutton, CEO of VATSolve. "Companies that fail to automate financial processes, including VAT compliance, are exposing themselves to unnecessary risk, inefficiencies and lost cashflow opportunities."
The rise of VAT automation: A game-changer for CFOs
VAT compliance is one of the most complex financial processes for large enterprises, requiring precise calculations, real-time regulatory alignment and seamless integration with financial systems. Manual VAT management – often reliant on spreadsheets, fragmented data and human oversight – introduces risks such as:
- Overpayments and underpayments leading to cashflow inefficiencies.
- Audit exposure, increasing the likelihood of SARS penalties.
- Time-intensive processing, taking finance teams away from strategic priorities.
