Request for Correction EMP201 - urgent

[Paul T]

Hi all, I have been requesting correction for a number of historical EMP201's for a client, due to their overpayment of UIF.

1. Cannot allocate the ensuing credits to any historical periods, and it is not allowing me to select '0' (zero) periods so that I can allocate in the future allocation (despite the guide referring to periods numbering from 0 to 18 or 24). The SARS contact centre advised that I would need to do this in the branch manually.

2. Cannot get a refund without going into the branch or sending an email with a letter and all proofs of payment of UIF contributions.

can anyone with experience in the above shed any urgent light on this? R35k refund at stage.

Thanks!

Hi there, You would need to also re-submit the emp501's. I would suggest write a letter to PCC, explaining what happened w.r.t. the UIF calculations that was wrong. Ask them to make the credits available for use against a future period. Only SARS can offset a credit against a future emp201. You will get a case number and once the emp201 is submitted you will email PCC and ask them to do the allocation. If the credit is a lot, then you might want to ask them to refund it to the client instead of offsetting it monthly as it might take "for-ever".

Thank you Christel.
