SARS are already hitting dormant companies with monthly penalties for failing to submit Income Tax returns. They are now gearing up to do the same to dormant companies that are registered as employers and have not submitted PAYE returns.

They have started, as before, by sending out hundreds of demands for EMP201 and EMP501 returns warning that failure to submit can lead to penalties and legal action.

So, don’t think that just because you haven’t traded or you don’t employ anybody, you’re off the hook. Yours is exactly the kind of company that they are going after.

You can submit the returns yourselves or you can engage a company such as ours to do them for you for a nominal amount.
