What is Pay as you Earn(PAYE) and Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF) and who needs to register for it?

If you run a business and have employees earning more than the monthly tax threshold the business needs to register for PAYE. If all employees earn less than the tax threshold you still need to register for UIF. The tax threshold for the 2010 financial year is R54 200 annually or R4 516monthly (amount where no tax needs to be deducted). If the business owner/member etc draws a salary from the business he/she will also need to pay over PAYE and UIF except if the business is run as a sole proprietor.

2. What is the turnaround time? 

A PAYE and UIF registration takes on average 30 working days.


3. What happens afterwards?

As soon as your business is registered for PAYE and/or UIF, you wil have to deduct the correct amount of tax, based on SARS's tax tables, from the employee as well as the correct UIF amounts. UIF deductions are calculated as 2% of the employee's gross salary. 1% gets deducted from the employee's gross salary and the employer also contributes 1%. These entire amount must be paid over to SARS before/on the 7th of each month. You will also need to submit a EMP201 form  to SARS monthly. This will be for the month that has just passed, e.g. February's tax and UIF deductions from salaries need to be paid over on the 7th of March.
