The Bi-annual August 2012 EMP501 Declaration (PAYE reconciliation) is due to SARS on or before 31 October 2012.
The reconciliation relates to the 6 months’ transactions between 1 March 2012 to 31 August 2012 relating to PAYE/SDL and UIF.
SARS 8 point checklist:
- Submit declaration before the deadline to avoid penalties
- Use latest e@syfile Employer software available from the SARS website. Always ensure back-up of current data is done beforehand!
- Review IRP5/IT3(a) codes for new/re-activated source codes
- Request latest EMPSA for updated SARS statement of account to assist with the reconciliation
- Submit recon via correct channel – online (linked to SARS E-filing) or manually at any SARS branch office – remember your disk with IRP5 data!
- Duplicated submissions not accepted unless changed/new IRP5/IT3(a) data
- Use PAYE recon assistant to balance your reconciliation
- Contact SARS for latest e@syfile Employer software and queries relating to reconciliation
Late submission of the EMP501 return AND submission of omitted information/incomplete IRP5 certificates will result in severe penalties being levied.
SARS Income Tax numbers for all employees (regardless of income level) is part of the mandatory information required by SARS – submission of the Bi-Annual August 2012 IRP5/IT3 certificate without the mandatory information will be seen as incomplete information and penalties will be levied by SARS (even if submitted before the deadline).
