Payroll

 

Payroll is a major expense for most companies and a primary component of labour cost.

 

There is also a huge statutory and compliance responsibility on companies regarding the correct management of their payroll.

 

  • Employee’s pay, overtime, bonuses, benefits must be calculated correctly, and the appropriate taxes deducted monthly
  • Adjustments to employee’s tax rates must be implemented timeously as tax rates change
  • Payslips must be prepared and provided to employees monthly
  • New and departing employees must be recorded correctly and timeously
  • Relevant monthly tax returns ( PAYE/ UIF/ SDL) must be prepared and submitted to SARS by the specified dates
  • A bi-annual reconciliation of the company’s Payroll ( EMP 501) needs to be submitted to SARS for verification

 

Failure to comply to any of the above will incur substantial penalties and interest from SARS.
