🚗 R4.95 per kilometre. Know the rules.

Business travel reimbursements can have important payroll tax implications.

If an employee uses their own vehicle for business travel, reimbursements at or below R4.95 per kilometre may qualify for PAYE exemption, provided SARS requirements are met.

📌 Keep accurate logbooks and check for other travel allowances or reimbursements to ensure the correct tax treatment.

This month, we’re breaking down:
✔️ Bank File
✔️ Pay Date
✔️ Payslip Pull
✔️ Post-Payroll

As always, we’ve added the “real meaning” because sometimes payroll speak needs a little translation. 😄

“Isn’t payroll just pressing a button?” 😭😂

Sure… if that button also calculates taxes, reconciles deductions, keeps up with legislation, and makes sure everyone gets paid correctly and on time!

🚗 Travel reimbursements aren't always tax-free!

Before processing a travel claim, make sure you're checking more than just the kilometres travelled. 👀

Here's what payroll professionals need to know:

📍 Check the reimbursement rate against the SARS prescribed rate.
📋 Use the correct IRP5 source codes: 3702, 3703 and 3722.
🧾 Keep accurate logbooks and supporting records.

Getting the details right helps you apply the correct tax treatment and avoid payroll reporting errors.

📈 The Repo Rate has increased, and employers need to take note.

The SA Reserve Bank has increased the Repo Rate by 0.25%, bringing it to 7.25% from 23 September 2026. This is the first rate increase this year.

As a result:
• Prime Rate: 10.75%
• SARS Official Rate of Interest: 8.25% from 1 October 2026

👉 Why does this matter to employers?

If you provide employees with interest-free or low-interest loans, the difference between the interest actually paid and the SARS Official Rate of Interest may be taxable as a fringe benefit.

With the new rate taking effect, make sure your payroll records and fringe benefit calculations are updated accordingly.

Made a mistake? 😳 Don’t panic... but don’t ignore it!

Payroll errors happen. The important thing is knowing how to fix them correctly.

From underpayments and overpayments to incorrect PAYE/UIF deductions, SARS submissions and missed deadlines, the right correction depends on the type of error and when it was identified.

⚠️ And don’t forget: when correcting an IRP5 transaction, make sure you use the same IRP5 code as the original transaction.
