Dear X3 HR and Payroll User .

The tax extract and reporting for the 2020-2021 Bi-Annual Submission period has been enhanced and updated with the latest requirements as per South African Revenue Authority (SARS) Business Requirements Specifications (BRS). The updated functionality will be delivered in HR U9.0.19 (version 9) and  2020 R4 (12.0.24) (version 12).

Please take note that SARS has not released the final e@syFile software for the Bi-Annual Submission yet, and therefore changes might be required. If changes are necessary, we will communicate it with you.

We recommend the customers be updated to the following versions before the Bi-Annual Submission patches are loaded:

• Version 9: HR U9.0.17

• Version 12: 12.0.22 (2020 R2)

If the customer is unable to update to the recommended versions, it will remain their responsibility to ensure all previous Tax Extract patches are integrated. Please also ensure that all statutory pay plan patches as provided up to date for the 2020-2021 tax year have been integrated.

A full tax extract patch with the latest requirements as per the BRS will be available on request.

Changes included in the updated patches:

• Updated tax extract and validations for the 2020-2021 tax year.
• Enhanced tax extract validations.
• Updated tax certificates for the 2020-2021 tax year.
• Updated IRP5 recon report for the 2020-2021 tax year.
• Additional bug fixes.

 It is important to read through the documentation before applying the patches.

Please request all patch files from our support team 

Thank you
