On a tricky photograph — a crumpled slip, a faded till roll, one taken at an angle — EasyT tells you rather than guessing. Every figure it does read is yours to change before anything is saved.

What will you actually owe?

Every other calculator gives you one number. This one shows the working — and what each thing you claimed was worth in rands. Start with what you earned; add the rest only if it applies to you.

The calculation

Every line, and what it saved you

Tax for the year
R 0
—

An estimate on the official 2026/27 tables — the same tables EasyT uses to work out your provisional tax. It doesn't replace advice from your accountant. Travel is shown on the SARS cost table for your vehicle; which method you may use depends on whether you receive a travel allowance, and EasyT works that out from your own records.

The next three things after a receipt scanner

A scanner reads the slip. EasyT finishes the return.

Reading a receipt is the easy part, and it is where most apps stop. These three are what take real work out of your year.

In SARS's own format

A travel logbook that counts

Every trip, with opening and closing odometer, purpose and the SARS cost table applied to your vehicle. It prints as the document an auditor asks for — not a spreadsheet you'd have to defend.

Twice a year, every year

Provisional tax, worked out

IRP6 figures straight off your own books, with the underestimation margin checked before you file. It tells you the number and shows you where every rand of it came from.

Nobody else in this market

Your accountant works inside EasyT

Give them their own login. They see your books, make corrections themselves, and every change is logged permanently — so the version you both look at is the same one.

And a trial balance, financial statements, a VAT201 and a trading ledger. Everything your accountant usually spends billable hours assembling comes out of the slips you already photographed.
How it works

Three steps, and two of them are automatic.

ScanScan any receipt and EasyT captures every line on it.

Questions

The ones people actually ask.

Will SARS accept a photograph of a receipt?

Yes. SARS requires you to keep records for five years and accepts electronic copies, provided they're legible and complete. EasyT stores the full-resolution image alongside the entry, so the original is always there to produce.

What if EasyT reads something wrong?

You correct it, and it remembers. Every figure and every cost centre is editable before anything is saved, and EasyT learns your choices per business — so a shop you've classified once files itself the next time. Where a photo is genuinely unclear it tells you rather than guessing, and the entry waits for you instead of going into your books wrong.

Do I need an accountant to use EasyT?

No, EasyT handles the figures for your own tax return. If you choose to work with an accountant or bookkeeper, simply give them their own login. They can work directly inside your books—instead of asking you for a shoebox of receipts—and every change they make is automatically logged with their name. If you're looking for a professional, our directory lists practices already experienced with EasyT.

Does EasyT handle VAT?

Yes. VAT is split off every entry so it's never claimed twice — once in your income-tax deduction and again as input VAT. EasyT produces the VAT201 figures and tells you when you're approaching the R2.3 million registration threshold.

What is turnover tax, and would it suit me?

A swap, not an extra: a business turning over under R2.3 million can elect to pay one small percentage of what comes in, instead of income tax, provisional tax, capital gains tax and dividends tax. The first R600 000 is taxed at nothing and there are no expenses to add up. It suits a trade with a reliable margin and few deductions to lose — because it is worked out on turnover rather than profit, you give up every deduction, and a year that makes a loss still pays something.

A few things close it off, the common ones being professional services or investment income over 20% of what you take in, or holding shares in another company. EasyT works the comparison out on your own figures, beside what you pay now. Registering is a decision to take with your accountant, and it happens before a tax year starts rather than at the end of one.

What about my travel?

A logbook in SARS's own format, with opening and closing odometer readings per trip and the official cost table applied to your vehicle. Without a logbook SARS allows nothing for business travel — which for most people driving for work is the single largest deduction they're missing.

Is my data safe, and who can see it?

Your data is yours alone. Each account is isolated by email — no other user can see your records. We're POPIA-compliant, you can export everything at any time, and you can ask for it all to be deleted.

Can I use EasyT for more than one business?

Yes — as many as you like on one login, each with its own books, cost centres and reports. A sole proprietorship and a company side by side, kept properly separate, with your personal tax position linking the two where SARS says it should.
