Mid-year recon – August 2014 due to SARS by 31 October 2014

The Bi-annual August 2013 PAYE reconciliation period is from 1 September 2014 – 31 October 2014. – All employers must prepare and submit their declaration (EMP501) and employees’ IRP5’s to SARS reconciling the PAYE/SDL/UIF paid during the period 1 March 2014 to 31 August 2014.

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 2014 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).
