Validation and preparation are key to ensure the information provided on the employee certificates is correct.
📎NOTE: From the 2026 year of assessment onward, you must include income tax reference numbers on all tax certificates.

Ensure your PAYE, SDL, UIF and ETI balances on your payroll and declare to SARS.
Submit your reconciliation and certificates to SARS
