SARS has introduced a new e@syFile system built on a new platform, and the old e@syFile system will no longer be in use after February 2025.
Tax Year End submissions can be stressful, and this year, especially with the transition to the new platform, it’s crucial to be prepared. We recommend starting the migration of at least 3-5 years of e@syFile history information to the new platform as soon as possible. This will also help ensure that any technical issues are resolved well before the submission period begins.
Some FAQ from the e@syFile website:
- Should I uninstall the old e@syFile Employer application, or may I keep it?
For the first two years it is recommended that both e@syFile™ Employer applications remain installed on the Employer’s PC, even when submissions are made via the new e@syFile™ Employer application. This will allow you to refer back to historical submissions and process amendments.
- Can I still submit using the old e@syFile Employer application
Either of the e@syFile™ Employer applications can be used to submit for the period of recon 202408. However, from 202502 submission must be made using the new e@syFile™ Employer application.
