PAYE, UIF and SDL: what employers must get right every month

If your business employs staff, payroll compliance is not something to leave until year-end.

Every month, employers need to make sure the correct amounts are calculated, declared, and paid for PAYE, UIF and SDL where applicable. These figures are usually submitted to SARS through the monthly EMP201 declaration, which includes allocations for PAYE, SDL, UIF and, where relevant, ETI.

It sounds simple, but small payroll errors can quickly create unnecessary admin, reconciliation issues, penalties, interest, and stress later.

A strong monthly payroll process should help you answer:

Are salaries and deductions calculated correctly?
Was the EMP201 submitted on time?
Do PAYE, UIF and SDL values reconcile with your payroll records?
Are employee details and payslips accurate?
Will your records support your EMP501 reconciliation later?

At APT Practitioners, we assist South African employers with payroll, PAYE, UIF, SDL, EMP201 submissions, compliance, and advisory support so your business can stay organised, compliant, and confident every month.

Clarity. Compliance. Confidence.

You began modestly.

a service over the weekend.
a couple freelance jobs.
internet-based sales.
consulting after business hours.
a side business that generates additional revenue.

Although it may seem informal at first, additional revenue is nevertheless important from a tax standpoint.

Income received outside of your wage may need to be reported to SARS in South Africa. It may also impact your record-keeping, provisional tax position, deductions, and general compliance, depending on your circumstances.

The fact that you are making extra money is not the problem.
The problem is that you don't know how to handle it effectively.

At APT Practitioners, we assist individuals, independent contractors, business owners, and entrepreneurs in understanding their tax obligations so they may make wise choices and steer clear of needless problems.

Get the right advice before your side project turns into a SARS inquiry.

Your medical aid certificate is important but it may not show everything.

During tax season, many taxpayers only look at the certificate received from their medical scheme. However, you may also have paid certain qualifying medical expenses yourself during the year.

These can include expenses that were:

• Paid out of your own pocket
• Not covered by your medical aid
• Not reflected on your medical aid certificate
• Supported by invoices, receipts and proof of payment
• Relevant to you, your spouse or qualifying dependants

The key is not to guess. You need proper records and a clear understanding of what may be claimed.

APT Practitioners helps South African taxpayers prepare their returns with care, accuracy and confidence.

Before submitting your 2026 return, make sure your medical expenses have been properly reviewed. Contact APT Practitioners for professional tax support.

Your 2026 tax return starts before you log into eFiling.

Having the right documents ready can make the process clearer, smoother and more accurate, especially if your tax position involves more than a basic salary.

Before filing, make sure you have the relevant documents available, such as:

• IRP5 / IT3(a) certificates�• Medical aid certificate�• Retirement annuity / RA certificate�• Investment and interest income certificates�• Travel logbook, if you received a travel allowance�• Rental income and expense records�• Freelance, commission or side income records�• Section 18A donation certificates�• Capital gains information, where applicable�• Supporting documents for deductions or claims

A complete document file helps you understand your position before you submit and gives you better confidence if SARS requests supporting information later.

APT Practitioners helps individuals, professionals, business owners and trustees prepare for tax season with clarity, compliance and confidence.

Auto Assessment season is open but before you accept, take a moment to check.

SARS may pre-fill certain information on your return, but that does not automatically mean your full tax position has been captured correctly.

Before accepting your Auto Assessment, consider whether SARS has accurately reflected:

• Medical aid and out-of-pocket medical expenses
• Retirement annuity / RA contributions
• Travel allowance and logbook information
• Rental income and related expenses
• Investment and interest income
• Commission, freelance or side income
• Banking and personal details
• Supporting documents for deductions or claims

An Auto Assessment can be convenient, but your tax return remains your responsibility.

APT Practitioners helps South African taxpayers, professionals and business owners approach tax season with clarity, compliance and confidence.

If you have received an Auto Assessment and are unsure whether it is complete, contact APT Practitioners for a professional review.
