You may access the Business Requirements Specification on the SARS website for full details concerning the changes to the IRP5 submission file.
New IRP5 Codes have been published in the latest SARS BRS as being applicable from 1 March 2019.
We have made these new codes available on the applicable definition screens as part of Release 5.2c.
However, if you never installed this release it is important that you take note of the following:
We are not converting any Definition Lines, because we cannot establish which lines in the current setup are used for the items that now have dedicated IRP5 Codes.
You need to allocate the IRP5 Codes on the applicable Definition Screens.

Issue |
Detail |
|
If Employee is legally retired with CC values for Medical Aid, the IRP5 did not print |
Validation Error has been expanded with solution: “Employee is legally retired with only a Medical Aid Company Contribution. To print an IT3a for this employee, add R1 on the Payslip as an Earning.” |

Live Tax-Year-End Run – sometimes Reimbursive Travel Transactions caused Validation Error which was untrue |
If you did the run in a non-monthly company, in the last week of the tax year, then the validation calculations were incorrect resulting in an invalid validation error. |

On the RT Screen R193.49 reflects on Non-Taxable and R0.01 as Taxable. The values reflected under IRP5 codes 3702 and 3703.
