How to prepare your SST-02 return in Orbit

SST-02 is the return you send to RMCD for a taxable period. It shows output tax charged to customers minus input tax from suppliers. This module builds that picture from your invoices and bills. First, check if you are registered. If yes, enable SST, charge tax on sales, and review the summary before filing.

Do you need this screen?

  1. Ask if RMCD has given your business an SST registration number.
  2. If no, stop here and leave the SST switch off.
  3. If yes, proceed to enable the feature.

How do I turn on SST?

  1. Go to Features and Integrations and switch on the SST tile.
  2. Open SST-02 Return and ensure the SST registered toggle is on.
  3. Type your SST registration no. exactly as RMCD issued it.
  4. Press Save to activate the Tax code column on invoices.

How do I charge SST on a sale?

  1. Raise the invoice as usual on the Invoices screen.
  2. Pick a Tax code from the new column on each line.
  3. Choose New tax if the list does not have your code.
  4. Use Not subject to SST if the document carries no tax.
  5. Save the invoice to calculate the tax per line.

How do I post the sale correctly?

  1. Read the invoice's posting status. With automatic invoice sales on, the gross amount goes to Trade Debtors, Sales keeps the amount before SST, and the tax goes to SST Payable.
  2. If the status already names the amount sent to SST Payable, do not add another SST entry or a second debtor entry.
  3. Practice books default to manual posting, so there you record the gross debtor entry and the SST journal yourself.
  4. When the customer pays, record the payment on the invoice. It posts the full amount received, SST included, and clears Trade Debtors without treating SST as revenue.
  5. When you pay RMCD, use the SST Payment to Customs category, not an expense category.

How do I read the return?

  1. Open SST-02 Return to see the year being reported.
  2. Review the table for taxable amounts and output tax by code.
  3. Check the split between Sales tax and Service tax.
  4. Compare output tax less input tax to find Net SST payable.
  5. Note that the screen covers your whole financial year with no period picker, while the return is filed for a shorter taxable period, normally two months. Use these figures as a check before keying the return in the RMCD portal.

What this does to your books

SST-02 itself posts nothing, and switching SST on only writes two settings, the on switch and your registration number. The invoice screen makes the postings: with automatic invoice sales on, the gross total debits Trade Debtors, Sales keeps the amount before SST and the tax credits SST Payable. Recording the customer's payment posts Dr Cash & Bank (1000), Cr Trade Debtors (1100) for the gross amount. Paying RMCD under SST Payment to Customs debits SST Payable and credits Cash & Bank.

Questions, answered

What is the difference between output tax and input tax?

Output tax is the SST you charged your customers, which you collected for the government. Input tax is the SST your suppliers charged you. Whether you can deduct input tax depends on the rules for what you sell.

Why does the SST screen not appear in my sidebar?

The screen is hidden until SST is switched on in Features and Integrations. The app treats being registered as the real signal, so it does not show the option if you have not enabled the feature.

Can I file the SST-02 return directly from this screen?

No, this screen only reads your data and does not post anything. It covers the whole financial year, not a specific taxable period. You must use these figures as a check and then key the real return in the RMCD portal.
