Your payroll application must be updated to Release 5.9a (available mid-September 2022) to submit your reconciliation for the period March to August 2022.

This is required to ensure your payroll tax certificate export file is compatible with the latest version of SARS e@syFile.

When you launch your application the first time after the software has been released, you will be prompted to update your company data to the new version. 

NOTE: The update should only be applied when all your companies are in a new pay period, before you paid employees or printed final reports for the pay period.

The update software will include the updated IRP5 codes and validations in line with the SARS Business Requirement Specification for the applicable tax year.
