🚨 September payroll and tax deadlines are coming up. Are you ready?

Staying on top of your SARS deadlines helps you avoid penalties, interest, and unnecessary compliance stress.

Here’s what should be on your radar this month:

📅 7 September | EMP201 Due Date
Your EMP201 return and payment for the August 2026 payroll are due. Make sure your PAYE, UIF and SDL liabilities are declared and paid on time.

📅 21 September | EMP501 Interim Reconciliation Opens
The 2026 interim reconciliation period opens. Employers must reconcile their PAYE, UIF and SDL declarations for 1 March to 31 August 2026 and submit the EMP501 via eFiling or e@syFile™ Employer. The submission period runs until 31 October 2026.

📅 30 September | Third Provisional Tax Payment
The optional third provisional tax payment is due for taxpayers who need to make a top-up payment. This can help reduce potential interest where the first two provisional tax payments were insufficient.

💸 That Two-Pot payout might not be as “taxed and done” as your employee thinks…

Think the tax deducted from a Two-Pot withdrawal is the end of the story? Not necessarily. 👀

A withdrawal from the Two-Pot Savings Component is taxable income and SARS deducts tax upfront through a tax directive, but an employee’s final tax liability is only determined when their overall income is assessed.

That means employees with multiple income sources, or income that isn’t accurately reflected in the directive, could still face a tax shortfall when SARS completes their annual assessment. 😬

👉 The payroll takeaway: Employees need to understand that a Two-Pot withdrawal is not tax-free cash, and the tax deducted upfront may not be their final tax position.

R269,900.90. Know what this number means for your payroll.

The 2026 BCEA earnings threshold is R269,900.90 per year.

But what does that actually mean?

Employees earning at or below the threshold remain covered by certain BCEA working-time protections, including provisions relating to overtime, working hours, rest periods, Sundays and public holidays.

Employees earning above the threshold are excluded from certain of these provisions.

⚠️ Important: Being above the threshold does not mean an employee loses their labour-law rights. It means specific BCEA provisions may no longer apply in the same way.

And don't make the mistake of looking at basic salary alone. The threshold is based on what qualifies as "earnings" under the BCEA.

Save this number for your next payroll check.

Payroll terminology doesn't have to be complicated. That’s why we’re back with another edition of Payroll Terms Decoded 💡

This month, we’re breaking down 5 everyday payroll terms that every payroll professional needs to know:

✔️ Deductions
✔️ Retirement Fund Deductions
✔️ Statutory Deductions
✔️ PAYE
✔️ UIF

Because when it comes to payroll, knowing exactly what each term means can make all the difference, especially when those “quick questions” from employees start rolling in.

👉 Follow us for practical payroll insights, compliance updates, and expert guidance that keeps you ahead of the curve.

💸 Think an interest-free employee loan is tax-free? Think again.

One missed monthly check could leave your payroll non-compliant and result in under-deducted PAYE.

If an employee is paying less than SARS's official interest rate (currently 8%), the difference may be a taxable fringe benefit that must be reflected on payroll.

Here are three mistakes payroll teams commonly make:
✔️ Assuming the loan only needs to be checked when it's issued.
✔️ Forgetting to recalculate when the official interest rate changes.
✔️ Not keeping the correct loan agreements and supporting documentation.

A simple monthly review can save hours of corrections and headaches during a SARS audit.

👉 Swipe through to learn what every payroll professional should know.

Follow us for practical payroll, tax and HR insights that help you stay compliant.

📱 SARS is scrolling too...

That flex video? SARS's data matching system doesn't care how many views it got. It cares if your lifestyle matches your tax return 👀

Luxury holidays, new cars, designer hauls. If it's public and it doesn't line up with what SARS has on file, it can flag your account for a lifestyle audit.

No anonymous tip needed. Just an algorithm and a mismatch.

Compliance isn't about hiding your life. It's about making sure your numbers can back it up.

👉 Follow us for the payroll and tax knowledge that keeps you covered, not caught off guard.

Stay informed and stay compliant!
