EMP201 Monthly Submissions
Produce, check and pay your monthly PAYE, UIF, SDL and ETI declaration.
When it is due
By the 7th of the following month, or the last business day before the 7th if it falls on a weekend or public holiday.
Producing the return
Open Filings → EMP201 and select the tax month. Totals are drawn from all finalised runs in that month across all pay frequencies.
What to check
- PAYE total matches the payroll summary
- UIF is employee plus employer
- ETI claimed does not exceed PAYE for the month
- Any prior-month ETI carry-forward is applied
Paying SARS
Capture the totals on eFiling, generate the payment reference number (PRN) and pay. Store the PRN against the period so your EMP501 reconciliation ties out.
