What is EMP201?

The monthly employer declaration to SARS for PAYE, UIF, SDL and ETI, due within seven days after month-end.

The EMP201 declares the PAYE, UIF and SDL you deducted or owe for the month, and any ETI you claim. It and the payment are due within seven days after the end of the month; if that day is a weekend or public holiday, by the last business day before it.

Each EMP201 has a 19-digit payment reference number (PRN) that links your payment to the declaration. Late payment can attract a 10% penalty plus interest.
