Created on  | Last modified on  Highlight Matches

Summary

Once you have cleared your Employee and Company validations in Sage Business Cloud Payroll you can generate the electronic certificates once the submission period has opened.

Resolution

CAUTION: The 2024 Year End file will only be available after SARS has published the submission dates.

NOTE: In order to export your TYE file, the submission period needs to be open.  You can check the submission deadlines on the SARS website.

TIP: Watch our video here.

    *If you do not have a create submission button, then it means that you have not cleared all of the validation in order to generate file:
    To clear your company validations, view this guide. 
    To clear your employee validations view this guide.
  7. The name of the file will be TYE_2024.txt and unless otherwise specified, this file will save to your Downloads Folder.

    CAUTION: TYE_2024 is in the correct format to be imported into E@syfile.  Please do not alter the file to any different format.

  8. The system will now generate reports relating to your Year End.  We suggest that you download or print these reports for record purposes.  The reports that will be generated: Tax Certificates, Reconciliation Report, EMP501, Error Report.

NOTE: We do not support the import into SARS Efilling.  We only support the import of the file to SARS e@syfile and nothing else regarding the e@syfile software.
