PAYE FINAL REPORT

Hi, 

Please assist. 

We have a problem with our final PAYE Report , it is not agreeing with the reports we had previously pulled on a month to month basis before the year end 2020. The payroll totals as well as EMP201 are not the same, specifically for the month of December 2019. The EMP201 that we used to file our SARS return is currently showing different figures on the SAGE Payroll system. 

Someone please urgently assist as we would like to finalise our EMP501 and this is causing a challenge. 

We tried calling the sage payroll support but we are put on hold without any response,I hope this platform will assist us. 

  • Hi Gontse, are you on VIP or 300 People? Is there a possibility that figures for December were changed after the EMP201 was printed and paid? If you are on VIP the best way to ascertain this is to print a 12 Month Report for December 2019, detailing all employees net salaries. Then compare it to the net salaries paid over to the employee from your banking system. If this is the case, you will identify an employee (or perhaps more than one) whose net pay differs. The net pay for the month of December has to tie back to the amount paid over via the banking systerm. Therefore, by way of example, if the 12 Month Report shows a net salary of R8000 but the banking system shows a net salary paid of R8500, an adjustment of R500 will need to be made in February to bring this back into line. The change to the EMP201 will reflect for February 2020 and not on December 2020's EMP201 but all will balance once the recon on Easy File is complete. I hope this helps somewhat. If you are on 300 People, please let me know so I can send you the steps (they will be similar, I just need to check on the adjustments). Kind Regards, Candice 

  • Hi Gontse, I've just double checked and if you are on Sage 300 People, you will do any necessary adjustments on the Tax Adjustment Payslip. This can be accessed via the History Payslips, by selecting the payslip for the last month in the tax year. Once you have selected the company and searched for the employee, select the employee and from the ribbon at the top click on "Tax Adjustment Payslip". Select the Tax Adjustment Payslip from the drop down and make the necessary changes. Kind Regards, Candice
