Note
To keep track of the amount of Loyalty Points Redeemed, add a general ledger account with name, for e.g. Loyalty Points Redeemed.
The loyalty account is usually an expense account. This account will be debited when you pay an invoice with Loyalty Points. The default VAT for this account must be Input Tax. You are in effect giving the customer discount.
The transaction will look as follows:
Sale amount R100 (exclusive) and redeemed 50 Points (R)

or put in other words
Sale exclusive 100.00
VAT @14% 14.00
Total 114.00
Less discount 50.00 (50 points redeemed)
Due by customer 64.00 (Vat Inclusive)
Thus, the VAT which must be paid over will = 64 * 14/114 = 7.86 This is the same as above 14.00 - 6.14 = 7.86
