2022 PAGSA Annual General Meeting

The PAGSA Annual General Meeting for the year 2022 will take place on 13 June 2022 at 09:00. Due to current circumstances, the meeting will be held virtually on the Zoom platform. The PAGSA will be responsible for organizing and managing the meeting, as they have done in the past for face-to-face AGM meetings. Invitations will be sent out a few days before the meeting, but it is advised to mark the date in your calendar in the meantime.

There will be a slight change in the voting procedure for the election of Exco members to accommodate the virtual meeting. The new procedures will be included in the formal notice pack. It is worth noting that all current Exco members have confirmed their availability to serve another term.

The morning of the AGM will be divided into two separate meeting sessions, each with its own Zoom invitation. The details are as follows:

1. AGM Formal Session:
– Time: 09:00 to 10:30
– Attendees: Payroll supplier members only

After the formal session, there will be a 30-minute break to allow attendees to attend to emails, grab a snack, etc.

2. Information Session:
– Time: 11:00 to 12:30
– Attendees: Payroll supplier members, Associate members, and SARS representatives

SARS (South African Revenue Service) has graciously agreed to have several senior personnel attend the Information Session. The session will cover the following topics:

1. PAGSA: PAYE Fixed-rate Calculation issues (currently under discussion)
2. SARS: Keynote address by Mark Kingon

During the Information Session, SARS welcomes input from PAGSA members and encourages feedback on SARS issues from a payroll and employer perspective. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions to SARS representatives.

The relationship between PAGSA and SARS has been mutually beneficial over the years. The PAGSA values the collaboration and appreciates the opportunity to provide credible and balanced feedback to SARS to help improve their services and products.

Formal AGM notices will be sent out as soon as possible. However, there are no resolutions for changes to the PAGSA constitution at this time.

Please note that all information provided by the PAGSA is subject to our DISCLAIMER.
