Heads up to fellow tax practitioners and bookkeepers before the EMP501 interim reconciliation closes: SARS eFiling is rejecting CSV import files from older payroll builds if the residential postal code field on foreign national employees contains spaces. Shoutout to the team at @tacaccountingservices for flagging the validation code fix earlier this week.

Life saver @riaz_patel! We had an EasyFile import fail on code 3260 this morning and couldn't figure out why.

@spiceroutecatering Also check that UIF reference numbers on the EMP501 match the uFiling declarations rand-for-rand, @bolandbookkeeper. We compared notes with @purewave_financial_solutions and SARS is auto-issuing discrepancy letters within 48 hours this season.
