Presenters : Welile Nhlapo
Overview
South African employers, tax practitioners, and payroll practitioners navigate the most complex compliance environment in a generation. The two-pot retirement system introduces new source codes, withholding obligations, and reconciliation risks that many are still working through. Adding to the pressure of EMP501 deadlines is a SARS administration that is becoming increasingly data-driven and audit-ready; consequently, mastering e@syFile™ Employer is no longer optional — it is a professional imperative.
