NOTE: 

• If you do not have a copy company, then you will have to Restore your live company to its Year End or February period (Make a backup of your live company first) and redo the Year End process.
• If you have more than one company with the same PAYE number it is imperative that you create the electronic certificates starting with unique certificate numbers.
• We do not offer telephonic or Email support on SARS E@syfile and will not be able to assist you with filling out your declaration after the import has been done
• Our Electronic file is based on the requirements set out by the BRS Spec. The BRS Spec is the only file available for Electronic IRP5 certificates. In a case where your file does not import into the Efiling platform, but it imports into the E@syfile platform, you will be advised to do your Submission via the E@syfile platform.
