When do I have to register for PAYE?

As soon as you pay any employee above the tax threshold, or become liable to withhold employees' tax. We assess your position and handle the SARS registration if it's required.

What happens if I've missed submissions?

We bring the payroll up to date, file the outstanding returns, and where there are reasonable grounds we prepare remission requests for penalties. The sooner it's addressed, the more options you have.

Do employees get their own payslip access?

Yes — SimplePay gives each employee a self-service portal for payslips and IRP5s, which also cuts down the admin requests landing on your desk.

Payroll Administration

Payroll is unforgiving — a late EMP201 attracts an immediate 10% penalty, and reconciliation errors surface at the worst possible time. We run payroll properly, every month, so your people are paid right and SARS has nothing to query.

Compliance without the deadline anxiety

PAYE, UIF and SDL each carry their own filing and payment deadlines, and the EMP501 reconciliation cycle adds two more. We manage the full calendar, submit on time, and keep proof of every submission — so if SARS ever asks, the answer is a document, not a scramble.

Structuring pay correctly

How a package is structured affects both the employee's take-home pay and your cost to company. We advise on travel allowances, retirement fund contributions within the 27.5% deduction cap, medical scheme fees tax credits, and ETI eligibility for qualifying young employees — so packages are efficient and defensible.

From one employee to a full team

Whether you are registering as an employer for the first time or migrating an established payroll, we handle the setup: PAYE/UIF/SDL registrations, employee onboarding, and historic take-on so year-to-date figures carry over correctly.
