As an Employer, you are required to withhold PAYE and UIF from employees. The amounts deducted or withheld by you must be paid to the South African Revenue Services (SARS) monthly by completing the EMP201 declaration.

ETI calculated values (if applicable), will also reflect on the EMP201 report - this is the amount you will be able to claim, and is not the actual amount claimed (this is done on
SARS eFiling when completing the EMP201 declaration)

Submit your EMP201 declaration at http://www.sarsefiling.co.za/
