The problem
Provisional tax has a way of creeping up in the dark.
Two SARS deadlines a year, and no monthly payslip telling you where you stand in between. By the time most freelancers work it out, it's either too late to plan for, or too rushed to get right.
Deadlines sneak up
31 August and end of February arrive fast when nothing's been tracked in between.
Statements are tedious
Sorting a month of bank transactions into business and personal by hand eats an evening you don't have.
Built for someone else
Xero and QuickBooks are for VAT-registered companies with payroll — not one person invoicing clients.
Income
Log income your way
One payment from one client — or a single lump sum for a busy week when you don't have time to itemise. Both count towards the same running total.
- Saved client list, so logging a payment is a few taps
- Detailed mode for per-payment records, Quick mode for weekly totals
- Every entry feeds straight into your tax estimate

Expenses
Sorted automatically, not by hand
Upload a bank statement and every transaction on it gets found, categorised, and totalled — you just confirm the guesses. Cash spending gets its own quick entry, since it never hits a statement.
- Bank statement reading, powered by AI
- Swipe right to keep as business, left to mark personal
- Photograph a receipt and attach it to the expense

Built for one person, one set of books
Freelancers, consultants, and sole proprietors.
If you invoice clients directly and don't have an accountant doing this for you yet, TaxMate SA is built around exactly that. It's deliberately not built for VAT-registered or multi-company businesses — that's a different product, with different rules.
Be first through the door.
We'll email you the moment TaxMate SA is ready to download. No spam — just one email, at launch.
Free while we build.
TaxMate SA gives you an estimate to help you plan ahead. Always confirm the final number with SARS or a registered tax practitioner before filing.
