SARS Employer Filing Season

[Pastel Payroll Consultant]

The SARS Employer Filing Season commenced on 01 April 2010.

There are a number of changes in the submissions processes as well as layouts that business owners, Payroll Administrators, Financial Managers need to come to grips with before submitting to SARS.

Notes:
1. Only submit your tax certificates and PAYE reconciliations using the new version of SARS e@syFile that will be released tomorrow. Keep an eye out for it on www.sars.gov.za
2. Companies can only print and issue IRP5/IT3(a) tax certificates to their employees after they have submitted their PAYE reconciliations generated on SARS e@syFile (and only after SARS has accepted these submissions) – either via SARS eFiling or manually on disk.

SARS has issued a notice to all employers outlining these changes - http://www.sars.gov.za/Tools/Documen...p?FileID=56553
