Frequently Asked Questions

The EMP201 is the monthly declaration submitted to SARS that details the total Pay-As-You-Earn (PAYE), Skills Development Levy (SDL), and Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF) deducted from your employees. The payment and submission are due by the 7th day of the month following the one in which the deductions were made.

The EMP501 is a bi-annual reconciliation that summarizes all the monthly EMP201 submissions for a six-month period. It is used to generate the employees' IRP5/IT3(a) tax certificates and ensures that what the company has paid to SARS matches the tax deducted from its employees for that period.

COID stands for Compensation for Occupational Injuries and Diseases. Businesses must submit a Return of Earnings annually and pay an assessment fee. A Letter of Good Standing from the Compensation Fund proves you are compliant and is often a mandatory requirement to be awarded contracts or tenders.
