Can employees have RSA IRP5 codes and Foreign Income IRP5 codes on one tax certificate?

As per the SARS Business Requirement Specification (BRS) for tax certificates, employees are allowed to have RSA and foreign income codes on one tax certificate.

The Sage Classic, Premier, Sage 200c VIP and Sage Business Cloud Payroll Professional applications have been designed to only reflect either local/RSA or foreign IRP5 codes (where 50 is added to the RSA codes).

Employees will thus have multiple records on the system, which will split the local income and foreign income, if the employee worked for some periods within RSA and some periods out of RSA.

Should the employee want only one IRP5, combining the values on the tax certificate, it will need to be manually captured in e@syFile.

The payroll record must then be flagged for 'manually issued' (on the Information (IS) screen) to prevent the IRP5 information being included in the IRP5 file which is exported from payroll.
