e@syFile Employer is free Windows software from SARS for employers and payroll administrators managing tax affairs. It lets users complete, submit, and revise Monthly Employer Declarations (EMP201) and Employer Reconciliation Declarations (EMP501). The software includes Employer Account management, Third Party Appointment (AA88) tools, and an Income Tax Registration function for registering employees. Tax certificate imports and EMP501 data capture can be performed offline, while submission to SARS requires an internet connection. SARS describes the software as linked to eFiling, with submissions sent through that service. Minimum requirements are Windows 10 (64 bit), 8 GB RAM, and 2 GB of hard-drive space. SARS advises backing up PAYE information before installation because installation may delete current information. Old e@syFile Flex backups cannot be restored in the new e@syFile TC application.
