The Cycle of Compliance
Being an employer means entering a strict cycle of reporting. You pay SARS monthly (EMP201), and then twice a year you must prove that your payments match your payroll data (EMP501). We manage this entire loop for you.
- Monthly EMP201 declaration & submission
- Bi-annual EMP501 Reconciliations (August & February)
- Generation of IRP5/IT3(a) tax certificates
- Correction of historic ETI claiming errors
- EasyFile integration and management
Two Major Deadlines
We keep you ahead of the two most critical employer tax events.
Monthly: EMP201
Total of PAYE + SDL + UIF withheld.
Deadline: 7th of the following month.
Risk: Late payment = 10% penalty instantly.
Bi-Annual: EMP501
Reconciliation of declarations vs payments vs certificates.
Deadline: End of May & End of Oct.
Risk: No Tax Clearance until filed.
Submission Process
Monthly Declaration
Every month, we calculate your PAYE, SDL, and UIF liability and submit the EMP201 to SARS by the 7th.
Mid-Year Recon
In August/September, we perform the Interim Reconciliation to ensure your first 6 months of data matches what you paid.
Final Recon
In April/May, we perform the Final Reconciliation for the full tax year. This is the big one.
Certificate Issue
Once the EMP501 is accepted by SARS, we issue IRP5 certificates to your employees for their personal tax returns.
Who Needs This?
The ETI Claimant
You claim Employment Tax Incentive. SARS audits these rigorously. We ensure your claim codes are 100% valid.
The Busy SME
You pay salaries but forget to file the return on time. We take over the deadline management to stop the 10% penalties.
The Correction Job
Your previous accountant messed up your IRP5 codes. We reopen the reconciliation on EasyFile and correct the certificates.
How We Work
We believe good accounting starts with structure and consistency. Our approach is designed to give business owners clarity without unnecessary complexity.
