SARS has revised the Third-Party Appointment process for employers. Payroll teams should update e@syFile, review AA88 notices promptly and strengthen controls around deductions and payments to SARS.
SARS has reminded employers that the 2026 Employer Interim Reconciliation Declaration deadline is 31 October. Businesses should submit, verify and resolve payroll discrepancies before the filing window closes.
SARS has released e@syFile Employer version 8.0.2_418 with an updated EMP501 form. Employers and payroll administrators should confirm their software version and validate payroll data before submitting reconciliations.
