Most accounting tools are built for American tax rules and adapted for us afterwards. LEDGA starts with 15% VAT, VAT201 returns, PAYE, and SARS record-keeping requirements as the foundation.
No credit card required. Full access from day one.
Invoice your clients, log what you spent, reconcile the bank, and file VAT. Everything below is included on every paid plan.
Build a compliant tax invoice in under a minute. LEDGA applies 15% VAT automatically, numbers each invoice sequentially, and includes every field SARS requires on a valid tax invoice.
LEDGA aggregates output VAT from your invoices and input VAT from your expenses across the bi-monthly period, then produces a VAT201 breakdown you can carry straight into SARS eFiling.
Import a CSV or OFX statement from any South African bank. LEDGA suggests matches against your open invoices and logged expenses so you reconcile in minutes instead of an afternoon.
Log an expense in seconds and attach the source document. Because SARS can ask you to substantiate a deduction years later, LEDGA keeps the receipt attached to the transaction permanently.
A sole proprietor and a twelve-person agency need different things. Rather than charging everyone for the maximum, LEDGA lets you switch modules on when they become relevant.
Photograph a receipt and LEDGA reads the supplier, date, total, and VAT amount, then creates the expense for you. Add-on from R79/month.
Put retainers and subscriptions on a schedule. LEDGA generates and sends each invoice automatically on the date you set.
Calculate PAYE against current SARS tax tables, plus the 1% UIF employee and employer contributions and 1% SDL where it applies. Add-on from R199/month.
Invoice international clients in USD, EUR, or GBP. LEDGA converts back to ZAR so your books and VAT position stay correct.
Profit and loss, cash flow, invoice ageing, and expense breakdowns built from your live data. Export to PDF or CSV for your accountant.
Invite your bookkeeper or accountant with role-based permissions, so they see what they need and nothing more.
Automatic follow-ups on overdue invoices, worded politely, so you chase payment without the awkward phone call.
Send a quote, and when the client accepts, turn it into an invoice without retyping a single line item.
Getting VAT wrong is expensive. SARS charges interest and penalties on underpayments, and an invoice missing a required field can have your client's input VAT claim rejected.
Read about SARS complianceLEDGA is built around the South African VAT rate and the bi-monthly filing cycle, rather than a US sales-tax model bolted on afterwards.
Every invoice carries the fields section 20(4) of the VAT Act requires, including your VAT number, a sequential number, and the words "Tax Invoice".
Your financial data is encrypted in transit and at rest, hosted with named sub-processors, and handled under a documented POPIA policy.
SARS requires five years of records. LEDGA retains your invoices, expenses, and attachments for the full period with daily backups.
Your trial includes full Professional access for 15 days. No credit card, and your data stays yours if you decide LEDGA isn't the right fit.
