Can I invoice a client in another country?

Yes. Klaar invoices in rand, and exported goods or services are often zero-rated — set the VAT rate on the line to 0 where that applies.

Invoices are issued in rand. There is no multi-currency support, so a foreign client pays the rand amount and their bank handles the conversion.

On VAT: exports are frequently zero-rated, meaning you charge VAT at 0% rather than 15%. Change the VAT rate on the line from 15 to 0 where that is the correct treatment.

Whether a particular supply qualifies as zero-rated depends on the details, and SARS has specific documentary requirements to prove it. That is a question for your accountant, not for us — getting it wrong means paying the 15% out of your own pocket later.
