SARS Launches e@syFile™ Employer Version 8.0

SARS has launched e@syFile™ Employer version 8.0, a redesigned and improved platform for employer tax submissions.

From 1 March 2025, this new version will replace all previous versions, so employers must download and install it in time to get familiar with the updates.

What’s New in e@syFile™ Employer 8.0?

• Faster & more efficient, built with modern technology for better performance.

• User-friendly with improved interface for easier data capturing.

• Quick & easy updates - modular updates eliminate the need for full reinstallation.

• Quick access links allow to navigate between functions without extra clicks.

• Better user management with enhanced access controls when adding and removing users.

• Stronger security with improved measures to protect sensitive data.

System Requirements

• Windows 10 (64-bit) or higher

• 8GB RAM

• 2GB available hard drive space (plus additional for employer data growth)

If your system doesn’t meet these requirements, you may need to upgrade your hardware.

Important Reminders

• Employers with 50 or fewer employees who can’t upgrade can still submit via eFiling.

• Data from the current version must be imported into version 8.0 for amendments.

• First-time login requires recovery details to reset the ADMIN password if forgotten.
