How it works

Four steps to a
complete VAT return

Scan purchases, enter sales, carry forward last month’s credit, then export one Excel file with both ERCA sheets.
01
Photograph your receipt
Take a photo of any purchase receipt. AI extracts vendor TIN, amounts, VAT, MRC, and FS numbers. Every receipt is saved to the cloud — never lost even if the paper copy is damaged or destroyed.
⚡ Takes 5 seconds
02
Categorise purchases
Tag each receipt: local goods, general expense, capital asset, imported, or no VAT. Categories feed the declaration input lines.
⚡ One tap per receipt
03
Add sales & balance
Enter taxable and exempt sales for the period. Prior-month credit loads from your last return — edit refunds or overrides before export.
⚡ Editable on the card
04
Export & file both systems
One file, two sheets: Sheet 1 → upload to TASS (purchase lines portal) and Sheet 2 → submit on ERCA e-Tax (VAT declaration, lines 5–205). Both systems covered in one export.
⚡ One tap to Excel

Sales & VAT balance
you enter in the app

Purchases are summed from your 4 receipts (937,934.42 ETB · 140,690.16 input VAT). Sales and last month’s credit are entered separately — all three flow into the declaration at export.

Sales this period

Taxable sales (excl. VAT) · line 516,203,767.21
Output VAT 15% · line 102,430,565.08
Exempt sales · line 200.00

Enter amounts with or without VAT — the app calculates output VAT automatically. These values appear on the VAT Declaration sheet.

VAT balance

Prior credit from last month · line 1952,580,970.87
VAT due before credit · line 1852,289,874.92
Amount to pay · line 2000.00
Credit to next month · line 205291,095.95

Sales > purchases → line 185 is VAT you owe this month (output minus input). Line 195 from last month pays it down first.

How line 205 is calculated
Prior credit · line 1952,580,970.87
Less VAT due · line 185− 2,289,874.92
Credit to next month · line 205291,095.95

Line 205 is not 185 + 195. Prior credit offsets what you owe; only the unused credit carries forward. Same logic as final_repo.csv: 2,580,970.87 − 1,879,354.09 = 701,616.78.

How this sample fits together

  1. 4 purchase receipts → Sheet 1 (line upload) + lines 100 & 170 on Sheet 2 → total 937,934.42 · input VAT 140,690.16
  2. Sales card → lines 5 & 10 on Sheet 2 → taxable 16,203,767.21 · output VAT 2,430,565.08
  3. Last month’s credit (195) pays down this month’s VAT due (185) → leftover 291,095.95 becomes line 205 for July
  4. Export → one .xlsx with both sheets; numbers above are the same in the app mock and Excel preview below
One Excel file,
two filings covered

Ethiopian VAT businesses must file in two places. Zufan's export covers both: Sheet 1 goes to TASS (ERCA's purchase lines upload portal) and Sheet 2 goes to ERCA e-Tax (the VAT declaration at mor.gov.et). Exact column layout from official templates.

Sheet 1 → TASS upload

Receipt-by-receipt purchase lines: vendor TIN, dates, MRC/FS, description, qty, unit price, VAT — ready to upload to TASS.

Sheet 2 → ERCA e-Tax

Full VAT declaration for mor.gov.et: Section 1 taxpayer info + Section 2 lines 5–205 — sales, inputs, prior credit, amount to pay, carry-forward.

Purchase categories

Local goods, capital asset, import, general expense, and no-VAT — mapped to declaration input lines.

Sales + prior credit merged

Values from your Sales and VAT balance cards flow into the declaration at export time.

VAT deadline notifications

Each reporting month’s purchases must be filed by the 10th of the following month (Gregorian calendar). Zufan Purchase schedules reminders so you file on time.

  • Notification on the filing deadline (e.g. October 10 for September)
  • Reminders 7, 3, and 1 days before the deadline
  • Toggle reminders anytime in app Settings
  • Uses your company’s reporting calendar (Ethiopian month 1–30)

Built for Ethiopian
tax compliance
Zufan Purchase is designed specifically for Ethiopian businesses navigating ERCA VAT requirements.

TASS & ERCA e-Tax ready

Sheet 1 uploads to TASS (purchase lines portal). Sheet 2 submits on ERCA e-Tax at mor.gov.et (VAT declaration, lines 5–205). One export covers both required government filings.

TIN number verification

Every supplier TIN extracted from receipts is validated against the standard Ethiopian 10-digit format to catch errors before submission.

Ethiopian calendar periods

Reporting follows the Ethiopian calendar (day 1 to day 30). File by the 10th of the next Gregorian month — e.g. September purchases due October 10.

Cloud receipt storage

Every scanned receipt is saved securely to the cloud. Paper receipts get lost or destroyed — your digital copies stay accessible for audit or re-filing any time.

Stop spending hours
on manual VAT work

Every Ethiopian business registered for VAT must file monthly. Zufan Purchase turns receipts, sales, and prior-month credit into a ready two-sheet Excel return — with 15 free scans every month.
