In LS Central, specific local functionality is provided to support South African Revenue Service (SARS) tax invoice requirements. This includes a dedicated Sales Invoice (ZA) report for posted sales invoices, an automatic ** TAX INVOICE ** or ** CREDIT NOTE ** header on every POS receipt, and a Retail Setup field that controls when the customer's address and VAT Registration No. are added to the POS receipt.

The topics are grouped by area: the back-office Sales Invoice (ZA) report, the POS receipt behaviour, and worked example scenarios.
