SAF-T overview
The SAF-T process is very similar to the indirect compliance process for VAT and GST returns, with the import of data into OIC and errors flagged on import. Certain errors, such as an entity code that was not mapped, can be corrected within OIC. However, any SAF-T business validations should be corrected at the source and the data reimported, as the purpose of SAF-T is to submit the information held in the business accounting system.
Once data is imported, you can select
Reports
> Digital Reporting
to generate the SAF-T XML. As part of this process, any business or technical validations are also run, and failed validations flagged in the Download window.Once this analysis is complete and any relevant changes made, the combined SAF-T can be generated, downloaded and uploaded to the tax authority portal/website.
