📊 YOUR PAYROLL SAYS ONE THING. SARS SAYS ANOTHER. 👀
Does everything actually reconcile?
Submitting your monthly EMP201 declarations is only part of your employer compliance responsibilities.
When it comes to your EMP501 reconciliation, the numbers need to tell the same story!
🔎 Here’s what employers should be checking:
✅ Payroll records – Are all salaries, allowances, benefits and statutory deductions accurately recorded?
✅ EMP201 declarations – Do your monthly PAYE, UIF and SDL declarations agree with your payroll?
✅ Payments to SARS – Do the amounts paid agree with what was declared and are they correctly allocated?
✅ Employee tax certificates – Are your IRP5/IT3(a) certificates accurate and complete?
⚠️ Discrepancies, incorrect allocations and missing information can lead to unnecessary complications, penalties or delays.
💡 JBK TIP: Don’t wait until submission day to discover that your figures don’t reconcile!
