  • Good day

    The suggested solution to amend the ETI's calculated values does not work as easyfile does not allow it.

    My ETI's were recalculated after the update of VIP and the certificates contain higher value than what we have submitted to SARS.

    How do I rectify it as currently I am unable to submit the EMP501.

    If the certificates have a higher value than what was claimed, the only period on the declaration would be February (the other periods will give an error message). Have you tried to increase the ETI Calculated on the declaration in February?
