What It Does

Every South African employer must issue each employee an IRP5 (where employees' tax was deducted) or an IT3(a) (where it was not) for the year of assessment, and import those certificates into SARS e@syFile Employer for the EMP501 reconciliation. This module builds a certificate batch that aggregates every computed South Africa payroll run inside a chosen year of assessment, per employee, and turns the annual gross remuneration, PAYE, UIF, SDL, medical-scheme tax credit and ETI into a fully source-coded certificate. The certificate nature (IRP5 vs IT3(a)) is decided automatically from the PAYE figure, the totals (BRS 4103 = PAYE + UIF + SDL) are recomputed for consistency, and a validation rule set blocks export until every certificate balances.

Key Features

Built on South Africa Payroll · BYOK

This module depends on the South Africa Payroll module and reads its computed runs directly — no double entry. It is bring-your-own-keys: the employer supplies its own SARS-issued PAYE / SDL / UIF reference numbers; the module produces the certificates and the import file, which you submit through e@syFile / eFiling with your own credentials. Everything runs locally — no employee data leaves your Odoo database. Source codes and the certificate rules carry the v24 (2025/2026) defaults; confirm them against the latest SARS PAYE BRS before issuing live certificates.
