As I’m sure you all know SARS is introducing and implementing
additional changes for the 2010 Year End E@syfile Submissions which all employers
need to comply with.
Using Pastel Payroll you are in the fast lane and can rest assured that your
Payroll software will be compliant and your tax certificates could be assisted
effortlessly if administered correctly and all data and records are kept up
to date.
We urge you to start updating your Pastel Payroll software to the Latest update
as soon as possible and not wait till near the actual Year End Filling season
as there are significant changes to the format and requirements from
an employer and employee details perspective and you as the Business owner or
Payroll administrator will have to update these details.
Now we all know it takes some time getting personal details for employees, especially
if not all are based in the Head-office and if you have a larger workforce this
can turn into a timely exercise.
Do Not wait until end of February to start with this.
Should you require our assistance with getting up to date and compliant, please
book a consultation in advance to avoid delay. We know that SARS is Clamping
down and imposing severe penalties if not filling correctly and on time.
Year End will be a breeze if you are prepared and informed!
