22 October 2019 – Reminder: Employer Interim Reconciliation deadline fast approaching

You Need Posted on by

Pretoria, 22 October 2019 – Employers are reminded that they have two weeks before the Employer Interim Reconciliation tax period closes on 31 October 2019. The reconciliation period opened on 23 September 2019.

As with other stakeholders and taxpayers, employers are called to join hands with SARS in building the fiscus for South Africa’s development agenda.  For the 2017/2018 fiscal year, PAYE constituted 96.4% of the total Personal Income Tax collected (Reference: SARS’ 2018 Tax Statistics publication, Chapter 1, Table A1.4.2).  

The interim reconciliation period for employers covers the six-months’ transaction period from 1 March to 31 August while the final annual reconciliation is for the full tax year from 1 March to the last day of February, and must be submitted during April and May. This totals two reconciliation declarations that employers are required to make during the year of assessment to ensure that employee IRP5/IT3(a) certificates are accurately issued on time for the personal income tax filing season.

During the reconciliation periods, the employer must confirm or correct the amounts they declared in the first six months of the tax year for Pay-As-You-Earn, the Skills Development Levy, their Unemployment Insurance Contributions and the Employment Tax Incentive (ETI), as well as payments made and tax values reflected on their employees’ IRP5 /ITR(a) tax certificates.  The elements that must reconcile are the monthly declarations, payments made – excluding penalty and interest payments – and the values for Pay-As-You-Earn, Skills Development Levy, and the Unemployment Insurance Contributions reflected on the IRP5/IT3(a) certificates.

Amongst the changes for this year’s interim employers’ reconciliation period, is that the Employment Tax Incentive  has been extended by ten years to 2029.  The Employment Tax Incentive (ETI) is an incentive that aims to encourage employers to hire young job seekers. It reduces the cost of hiring young people by reducing the amount of Pay As You Earn (PAYE) owed to SARS without affecting the employees’ wages.Employers qualifying for the Incentive need to submit the EMP501 reconciliation before the end of October to claim any monthly Incentive amounts that have not been used during the first six months (March to August).

Employers who do not submit and claim for the first six months (March to August) will forfeit any Employment Tax Incentive credit due to them.  

Employers who wait to submit during the Annual Reconciliation period will only be able to claim the credit amount for the second six-month period (September to February), but not for the first six month periods.

Enhancements

The Employer Interim Reconciliation period sees the following enhancements:

  • A new HTML5 form on eFiling for increased usability and real-time messaging.
  • New source codes have been entered on the IRP5/IT3(a) section of the form which incorporates the legal amendments applicable to the current tax year.
  • A simpler process to validate employment tax calculations for IRP5/IT3(a) certificates
  • A statement of account for periods prior to 2008 can be requested. 

Filing channels

SARS e@syFile™ Employer is a tailor-made platform designed to help taxpayers who are employers or payroll administrators, to manage their tax affairs.   Employers can file via eFiling or e@syFile™.  With eFiling, up to 50 IRP5/IT3(a) certificates can be submitted while with e@syFile™ the number is limitless. Branch filing is limited to five certificates only. 

Registering employees for income tax

SARS has developed bulk registration solutions on e@syFile™ for employers to register their employees for income tax and automatically obtaining income tax numbers for these employees.  This therefore does not require the employee to visit a SARS branch to obtain an income tax number.

J. Lo’s Abs Are On Fire in This Super Sweaty Gym Selfie

You Need Posted on by

Let's just take a minute to appreciate Jennifer Lopez's abs, shall we?

On Sunday, J.Lo, 50, shared yet another photo showing off her super-toned (and super-famous) midsection. In the picture, J.Lo's wearing a yellow long-sleeved crop top, with a matching pair of gray leggins with yellow stripes, both from her workout line with Niyama Sol.  

"Sweaty SoLful Sunday’s," J.Lo captioned the post, adding the hashtag "#fallishere" to celebrate the changing seasons (and likely her autumnal athleisure outfit). But, killer abs and workout gear aside, one thing definitely stands out more than others in this picture: The fact that J.Lo is extremely sweaty. Like, so sweaty that you can picture her stepping right off of the treadmill and immediately snapping this picture. 

But let's be real: The mom of two (and her abs) aren't strangers to workouts—or Instagram selfies showing off her hard work. In August, she posted a photo of herself standing in the ocean, looking stunning as always. That time she sported bikini bottoms and another long-sleeved crop top. And back in July, she posted a fabulous picture of herself in what appears to be a matching bikini top and leggings.

In June, she graciously shared some of the moves she does in the gym to keep herself looking so very toned. Among them were battle rope whipping, bicep curls using a weighted bar, and bench presses—all accompanied by her fiancé Alex Rodriguez who is, basically, her biggest cheerleader (and the one who posted the workout on his own Instagram first). 

But, honestly, looking to J.Lo as an example when you hit the gym might be a little overwhelming (girl is ripped!). But, if you'd like to start out a little slower than aiming for a full-on six-pack, try a quick ab workout (like this eight-minute routine) to get yourself going.

News24.com | 120 people lose homes in Pretoria fire

You Need Posted on by

At least 30 shacks have been ravaged in a blaze at the Bremmer informal settlement in Daspoort, Pretoria, leaving about 120 people homeless on Monday, EWN reported.

Three people were reportedly injured in the blaze and were rushed to hospital.

Tshwane emergency services spokesperson Charles Mabaso told EWN that it was unclear what started the fire.

“With wind like this and the hot conditions we’ve been experiencing, one cannot rule out the possibility of a veld fire,” he reportedly said. 

Gauteng has been experiencing heatwave conditions since the weekend, and the South African Weather Service (SAWS) has issued warnings that there was a higher probability of veld fires. 

Also on Monday, a fire at an informal settlement in Belgravia, Cape Town, claimed two lives, News24 reported. 

Two badly burnt bodies were recovered after structures caught alight in Vygieskraal in Johnson Road, said City of Cape Town fire and rescue services spokesperson Jermaine Carelse.

On September 30, around 900 people were left homeless when a fire destroyed nearly 200 shacks in the Pomona informal settlement in Kempton Park, north east of Johannesburg.

According to Ekurhuleni emergency services spokesperson Aaron Mafunda, no deaths were reported, despite the extent of the blaze.
