Questions about payroll
What happens if I miss an EMP201 submission?
The EMP201 declaration and payment are due by the 7th of the month following the payroll month, or the last business day before the 7th when it falls on a weekend or public holiday.
Late payment attracts a penalty on the amount due plus interest. The declaration must still be filed, so the fastest fix is to submit and pay, then deal with the penalty.
I only have two employees. Do I really need payroll software?
You need compliant payslips, PAYE and UIF calculations, EMP201 submissions, EMP501 reconciliations and IRP5 certificates, whether you have two employees or fifty. A spreadsheet rarely produces all of that correctly.
For very small teams our payroll fee is modest, and it removes the risk of a reconciliation that does not balance at year end.
When do my staff get their IRP5 certificates?
IRP5 certificates are produced from the annual EMP501 reconciliation after the end of the tax year in February, once SARS opens the submission period.
Employees cannot file their own returns until the IRP5 data reaches SARS, so a late reconciliation holds up your whole team.
Must I register for UIF if I employ domestic or casual staff?
Employers must register for UIF and contribute for employees who work more than 24 hours a month, including domestic workers. Contributions are shared between employer and employee.
We handle the registration and the monthly declarations along with your payroll.
