The countdown has begun! The Employer Interim Reconciliation filing season kicks off on 22 September 2025 and closes sharply on 31 October 2025. This is a critical deadline that ALL employers — both private and public — must meet without exception.

During this narrow window, you must reconcile your Monthly Employer Declarations (EMP201) against the tax data from your interim IRP5/IT3(a) certificates, payroll records, and PAYE payments made between 1 March 2025 and 31 August 2025. Failure to comply can result in penalties, audits, and disruptions to your tax clearance status.

Act immediately! Don’t wait for the deadline — prepare now and submit your reconciliation via SARS e@syFile as soon as the filing season opens.

Important reminders:

• Submissions are only accepted through the new e@syFile Thin Client software.
• Starting February 2026, Income Tax Numbers will be strictly enforced in e@syFileTm Employer. Stay ahead and ensure your records are updated
• For full details, guides, and support, visit the SARS  website and the Mid-year Centre dedicated to Interim Employer Reconciliation submissions.

This is your official call to action: Start preparing NOW , missing this deadline is NOT an option!
