SARS NOTICE: MODERNISATION OF THE E@SYFILE EMPLOYER AA88 SYSTEM

SARS are presenting a webinar on the changes to modernise their e@syFile Employer AA88 system. The details are in the notice below.

Dear Valued Stakeholders

In pursuit of SARS’ vision and strategic objectives we are continuously modernising our systems to provide digital and streamlined online services necessitating that regular upgrades, enhancements, and maintenance are done on our digital platforms and technology infrastructure.

One of the enhancements that are due to be rolled out to all employers in due course relates to the e@syFile Employer AA88 system.

As one of our key role-players SARS would like to engage you, to provide an overview of the various issues that were identified and fixed while also including various other enhancements made during this process. We do not believe the enhancements will have a system development impact; however, these changes will have a significant impact for all employers from a data perspective in relation to AA88’s.

You are therefore kindly requested to please avail yourself for the meeting and / or ensure that one of your more technically inclined staff members responsible for actioning the AA88’s in your organisation, also attend the interactive session that will be scheduled for Thursday, 20 April 2023, at 9:00 – 10:00. Please be on the lookout for the invitation that will block your diary and contain the virtual meeting link for the proposed meeting. Business Associations and organisations should kindly share this widely with their members and relevant person/(s) in their respective organisations.

As promised, the meeting invitation is below.
