The SARS biannual EMP501 submission period opens on Monday, 18 September and runs until 31 October.
Let us do your EMP501 submission for you via TeamViewer or AnyDesk to avoid errors or penalties. It usually takes no more than 1 hour per company to complete.
We support Sage Pastel Payroll, Sage VIP (Classic, Premier, Sage 200c), Sage Business Cloud Payroll and Sage Business Cloud Payroll Professional.
Do not do the submission before 18 September. If you do the submission before the official opening date, you may incur penalties. This is because the latest software updates in efiling, E@syFile and your payroll systems will only be available from 15 September. If the submission is done before 15 September, we highly recommend re-doing it to avoid penalties.
If you wish to attempt the submission yourself, please ensure that you are on the latest version of your payroll software. Do not generate the IRP5 certificates unless you're on the latest software version. The latest version contains important changes to SARS's transaction codes.
Please contact us or book a consulting session if you would like us to do your biannual SARS submission and/or update your software to the latest version.
