The South African Revenue Service (SARS) has noticed that some employers experience challenges when submitting and processing AA88 Third-Party Appointment notices.
To help resolve these issues, SARS has updated the AA88 Employer Guide with clearer, more practical guidance in the following areas:
- Application synchronisation – The guide now offers improved guidance and easy-to-follow troubleshooting steps to help you fix synchronisation issues and find the most recent AA88 records after synchronisation.
- Employee filtering – The guide now explains employee filtering more clearly, making it easier for you to find and manage the correct employee records.
- Bulk payments – SARS has updated the guide to reflect the corrected bulk payment process and added clearer instructions to help ensure successful payment processing.
- ITA88 status outcomes – The guide now clearly explains the system limitation that affects ITA88 notices and guides you through the manual steps required when the system cannot update statuses automatically.

On your payroll, you can define a deduction definition in case you need to deduct the amounts as instructed by SARS from the employee.
