The SARS EMP501 Employer Interim Reconciliation (Mid-Year) submission, does not require that users make a copy system of the payroll. When creating the IRP5 file for import into e@syFile, the IRP5/IT3a report gives users the option to choose a 'Periodic Recon' which automatically selects the period from March - August. This report can be printed anytime after the August payroll has been completed. The file may be generated in September or October as well.

NOTE: For the tax 2024/2025 Mid-Year submission, ensure that the payroll is on Release 6.3a (Releasing 16 September 2024) before creating the IRP5 file.
