Did you know: For the Interim Employer Reconciliation for March to August 2025 (Period 202508), income tax reference numbers will be mandatory in specific scenarios as part of the SARS submission requirements.

Although SARS previously specified this as mandatory, submissions without it were still accepted (with a warning only) allowing some flexibility. However, going forward, submissions missing employee income tax numbers will no longer be accepted.

More information on how to register employees on the SARS website or contact us for assistance.
