SARS’s Payment Advice Notice process gives businesses a practical way to reduce payment-allocation errors. A simple approval and reconciliation routine can help finance teams confirm that PAYE, VAT, income tax and other payments reach the correct SARS account.
SARS’s 2026 Employer Interim Reconciliation period runs until 31 October. Employers should now reconcile payroll data, employee tax numbers and PAYE, UIF and SDL amounts before submitting their EMP501.
