EMP201 submission lets you send your monthly declaration straight from Sage Payroll. The return information populates from your payroll data and securely integrates with SARS.
Before you begin, check that:
You have access to each company you want to include in the combined submission
You register your company with SARS eFiling
Sage ISV (Independent Service Vendor) is active on eFiling
You can only submit one EMP201 per PAYE number per month through Sage Payroll. After SARS successfully processes a submission, it will block a resubmission. If you need to resubmit, use the standard SARS eFiling service manually.
Go to Submission, then select EMP201 Submission.
Click Start EMP201 submission.
Complete the required details, then click Continue to submission
You’ll go to Sage Compliance Services. Read the information and click Continue.
Log in with your SARS credentials.
Once logged in, click Create EMP201.
Review pre‑filled details, complete any missing mandatory fields, then click Next.
Verify the values in the EMP201 report.
Click Submit Return.
A confirmation pop‑up will confirm successful submission to SARS.
📎NOTE: You can submit only one EMP201 per PAYE number each month in Sage Payroll. After SARS processes it, you can’t submit another through the system. You'll have to do corrections manually in SARS eFiling.
