Code 7005 has been amended to extract 0 in the months that the employee does not qualify.
Code 7004 has been amended to not be dependent on code 7005, as this dependency is already catered for in the pay plan.

SARS and NPA to prosecute taxpayers for outstanding returns
SARS published a notice on their website on 18 April 2018. SARS and the NPA (National Prosecuting Authority) has embarked on a new initiative to prosecute non-compliant taxpayers who have failed to submit returns – failure to submit a tax or VAT return is a criminal offence in terms of the Tax Administration Act and Value Added Tax Act. These returns include:
SARS has issued a notice in respect of the 2018 Employer Annual Filing Season. According to this notice, the filing season has commenced on 1 April 2018 and ends on 31 May 2018. Please ensure that your Annual Reconciliation is submitted on or before 31 May 2018.
The repurchase rate (repo rate) has decreased from 6.75% to 6.50% on 29 March 2018.
The ‘official interest rate’ as defined in section 1 of the Income Tax Act:
Repo rate + 1%
= 7.5%
As from April 2018, the ‘low or interest free loans/debt’ fringe benefit should be calculated by using the new ‘official interest rate’.
