PAYE, UIF & SDL Registration with SARS
If you employ staff in South Africa, you are legally required to register for PAYE (Pay-As-You-Earn), UIF (Unemployment Insurance Fund), and SDL (Skills Development Levy) with the South African Revenue Service (SARS). These registrations ensure your business remains compliant with labour and tax legislation and avoids costly penalties.
We assist businesses of all sizes with the full SARS employer registration process, making it simple, accurate, and stress-free.
What Is PAYE, UIF and SDL?
PAYE is a tax deducted from employees’ salaries and paid to SARS monthly by the employer.
UIF provides short-term financial relief to employees who become unemployed or unable to work.
SDL is a levy used to fund education and skills development initiatives in South Africa and is compulsory for most employers.
All three fall under SARS Employer Obligations and must be registered once you start paying salaries.
