Important: Botswana ITW7A and ITW8 update

Dear X3 HR and Payroll User, 

BURS published an updated online ITW7A report which must be used for the new online Lekgetho Live Tax Management System which went live on the 11th of May 2020. As a result of this, the deadline for PAYE submission has been extended to the 30th of June 2020.

 

The ITW7A is a Monthly Remittance return for PAYE which is used for tax deducted from employee’s remuneration. Taxpayers can submit the ITW7A online via a file upload. File uploads must be in XML or CSV format. The file can be exported out of Sage X3 HR and Payroll and uploaded onto the Revenue Authority’s website. Statutory changes were required on X3 HR and Payroll to accommodate for the new column heading “Furniture Benefit” added to the report.

 

Enhancements were also made to the ITW8 report (version 12). The conditions used to populate the ID/Residence Permit Number has been updated to look at both the tax status of the employment contract and the country field on the employee record to determine which number must be used to populate the report. The ITW8 on version 9 remained unchanged

The updated reports will be included in release HR U9.0.18 (version 9) and 2020 R3 (12.0.23) (version 12)

Please request the patches and the documentation from our Support team 

Kind Regards 

X3 HR and Payroll Team
