PAYE/UIF Registration (SARS) - Employer
1. Does the business or the employees register for PAYE/UIF?
The business is registered for PAYE/UIF. The PAYE/UIF registration number is registered in the business name and will stand until de-registered. The current employees are linked to this business registration number. It is the responsibility of the business to submit monthly declarations to declare the employees' details, salaries etc. for that specific month before the 7th of the following month, e.g. February 2011 info must be submitted and paid over on/before 7 March 2011.
2. Does the member(s)/director(s) count as employees?
If the member(s) directors are actively involved in the business and receives a salary/ drawing from the business they must be added as employees.
3. I am trading as a sole proprietor? Do I still need to register?
Yes, as soon as you employ a worker who works for more than 24 hours you need to register your business with PAYE/UIF.
4. The business is already registered with SARS for PAYE and UIF. Do I still need to register with Deparment of Labour?
Yes, if you are registered with SARS the registration number will start with a "U" and followed by a series of numbers. All payments for PAYE and UIF are the done through SARS. The business still needs to have a UIF registration number with Deparment Of Labour that will be linked to the UIF number registered with SARS. You can register for UIF with department of Labour here.

E.g. a worker received a R2 000 salary, R20 to be deducted from his/her salary and R20 to be contributed by the business and paid over to the UIF/SARS. Tax (PAYE) needs to be deducted according to each financial year's tax tables from each employee earning more than the tax threshold and paid over to SARS.
7. How do I make payment to SARS for PAYE/UIF?
Payment must be made directly to SARS accompanied by the monthly declaration form (EMP201). Declaration form must also be submitted to the UIF regarding the UIF deductions.
