SARS submissions for businesses

We are responsible for all standard SARS payroll-related submissions, including EMP201 submissions for PAYE, UIF, and SDL on the 7th of every month. We manage biannual EMP501 reconciliations, ensuring absolute alignment with SARS records. With your authorization we also manage linked payment processing from client bank accounts. All data is uploaded via SARS e-filing.

SARS has strict deadlines. You just need to be one day late to start accumulating penalties and interest. You needn’t worry about that because we ensure all EMP201 data is uploaded on the 7th of each month. In fact, all submissions are in by the due date – not a penalty in sight.

No. SARS submissions (EMP201 and EMP501) are fully integrated into our outsourced payroll service. This ensures the accuracy and consistency of data and meets all compliance requirements. This ensures there are no errors or discrepancies when it comes to payroll processing and tax reporting.

We actively track all legislative changes affecting PAYE, UIF, SDL, etc., and update submission processes immediately to maintain regulatory compliance, for example, we ensure that payroll data always aligns with SARS expectations. There’s absolutely no need to monitor SARS for changes because our hands-off, fully compliant approach does it for you.

You never want to fall foul of the taxman. Our solutions make sure that never happens. For instance, payroll cycles are reconciled to source time and HR data. There’s greater matching and fewer variances before submission to SARS.

Worrying about EMP201 and EMP501 timing is a thing of the past, as we incorporate it into the payroll calendar. The solution ensures owners and dates are clearly visible for accountability and audit trails.

Employment Equity reports are crucial to demonstrate your business’s compliance with EE rules. Our solution ensures Employment Equity and other related reports are prepared from system data. This means that not only does data come from the same source, but it also includes evidence for reviews.

The status of payroll-related tax submissions is stored with receipts in the folder for that period. This keeps leadership in the loop because they can see what was filed and when.

The beauty of our systems is that you barely have to give SARS a second thought. We do the heavy lifting to ensure your risk is as low as it’s possible to go. For instance, we set up the system so HR, time, payroll, and GL share the same identifiers. The result? A drop in rekeying and errors.

We ensure that rules and categories are correctly configured to policy. The system ensures rate and threshold changes land only once before filtering through and establishing consistency for submission.

Multi-company submissions couldn’t be simpler. They’re set up using a compliant, robust shared structure that doesn’t need to be rebuilt each tax season.

Items approaching their due date are flagged early, so your team can take action before deadlines slip by.

You’re not an ostrich. You don’t bury your head in the sand. So, we schedule short monthly reviews to confirm reconciliations and filings. Issues that are identified become tickets, not crises.
