SARS Annual EMP501 Submission Assistance

The SARS annual EMP501 submission period opens on Tuesday, 1 April and runs until Saturday, 31 May.


Let us do your EMP501 submission for you remotely. 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
  • Sage Business Cloud Payroll Professional
  • Sage Payroll & HR
  • SimplyPay
  • Quick Payroll
  • Payspace and
  • Palladium Payroll
Do not do the submission before 1 April. 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 1 April. If the submission is done before 1 April, 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 annual SARS submission and/or update your software to the latest version.
