27 July 2026 – The South African Revenue Service will give you an opportunity to test the updated e@syFile™ Employer build before the formal release in mid- September 2026 for the Employer Interim Reconciliation.
The updated e@syFile™ Employer BETA version with enhanced features for download will be released on Monday, 24 August 2026, so that you can start testing immediately.
During the testing period from 24 August 2026 to 11 September 2026, all online functionalities will be disabled to prevent the incorrect submission of test data into the production environment. This means the application will default to offline mode. Certain menu options will also be disabled as a precautionary measure.
The Business Requirements Specification SARS_PAYE_BRS – PAYE Employer Reconciliation V25 3 0 for the Employer Interim Reconciliation submission period 202608 is available.
The BETA version of e@syFile™ encompasses the following:
- New source code for ITREG to mitigate duplicate Income Tax registration for employees.
- Minor amendments to source code validations and descriptions.
A link to give you access to test the software will be provided soon. Please note that this link is confidential and only available to selected employers. In order to maintain its confidential status, please exercise caution and do not share it with others.
SARS will analyse the feedback from the external testers during the test cycle. Please nominate a contact person with his or her contact details to act as a liaison with SARS.
Please send your consolidated feedback to the SARS support team at [email protected] on a daily basis. The team will log it with the relevant SARS development team members to update the software. The feedback will be used to determine the frequency at which updated versions of the test software will be released.
