EMP501 Submission Deadline: What Every Employer Needs to Know
The May 31st deadline is around the corner — here’s how to stay compliant and stress-free.
Why the EMP501 Deadline Matters
The EMP501 reconciliation submission is a key compliance requirement for employers in South Africa. It ensures all your monthly payroll taxes — including PAYE, UIF, and SDL — align with the declarations made throughout the tax year via EMP201s.
The final submission is due by May 31st every year. Late or incorrect filings may result in SARS penalties, interest, or even audits. Accuracy and timeliness are essential.
