    Hmmm. Now that was interesting. It all submitted just fine, but there is an interesting twist in this tale.

    Somehow e@syfile calculates what your SDL and UIF should be. Now whilst my PAYE recon balanced perfectly, the numbers for SDL and UIF did not!

    On one company I'm going to have to chip in R75.00 according to their calculation. Too small for me to worry about why exactly. On another, I'm due a refund of about R600.00!

    Wierd.

    When it comes to UIF, I've got an idea the differences arise from the UIF ceiling which changes during the year, but obviously I've missed a trick on SDL too and have been gently overpaying.

    Next time my auditors come avisiting, I'm going to have to get them to take a closer look at this.

    Extension to employers

    Employers and businesses in the country are being granted more time to submit payroll information without suffering penalties, the SA Revenue Service (SARS) announced on Sunday.

    "The original deadline for submission was August 29, but the new payroll reconciliation process introduced this year has needed substantial change from businesses," said SARS spokesperson Adrian Lackay in a statement.

    Some businesses had asked SARS for more time.

    "SARS decided to grant employers more time until 12 September 2008 to submit EMP501 declarations," said Lackay. - Sapa


    Any word on provisional tax payments due 30/9/08 - will that deadline be extended as well?

    Add-on to above posting - SARS have confirmed individual tax returns will now only be available from 15 September 2008.

    So we all have to wait ANOTHER 2 weeks before we can claim our much awaited and needed refunds...........

    The third top-up payment for tax year 2008?

    Yes, top-ups for 2008, but it seems that SARS has been approached with a suggestion - SAICA made a submission to SARS to consider not imposing interest on delayed 3rd provisional tax payments due on 30 September 2008 for two months subsequent to this date.
