You want to create the IRP5 import file but are unsure of which payroll release the system should be on.

It is imperative that you create the IRP5 file on the correct release. This is to ensure that the file is validated corectly by SARS e@syFile.

NOTE: Please check the SARS website for details on the latest e@syFile software release.

For tax year-end 2021, please ensure that the payroll system is on either release 5.5a or 5.5b when creating the IRP5 import file.
