SARS PAYMENT INITIATION
Initiate your SARS payments in one place
Paying SARS usually means leaving your tax platform, logging into another system, and re-typing payment references manually. Konsise lets you initiate the payment to SARS from within the platform, with the correct reference for each entity and tax type, and track it through to SARS.
WHY IT MATTERS
Switching systems to pay SARS is where errors creep in
A payment to SARS is only right if the reference and amount are right. The usual routine is to read the amount in one system, log in to another to pay, and manually copy the payment reference across. This is slow, and a single mistyped reference can send a payment to the wrong place and leave an entity looking non-compliant. Multiply that across a portfolio of entities and several tax types a month, and the admin adds up fast. Konsise initiates the payment to SARS from the same place you manage the return, with the reference already correct, and tracks it through, ensuring payments are made on time and to the right place, without platform-hopping.
Payments, initiated and tracked in one place
Pay from one platform
Initiate your SARS payment from inside Konsise. No switching to SARS eFiling or juggling another system to get it done.
The right reference, every time
The payment reference and details come straight from the return, not re-typed, so the payment lands where SARS expects it.
Near real-time status
Track each payment through to SARS and see when it’s been processed and reflected. No guessing whether it went through.
Every tax type
VAT, PAYE, provisional tax and corporate income tax. Initiate the payments you manage, all from one place.
Centralised across entities
See and initiate what’s due across your whole portfolio of entities, rather than entity by entity.
On time, penalty-free
With what’s due and its deadline in front of you, payments are made on time, keeping late-payment penalties and interest away.
From due, to initiated, to reflected at SARS
Payment initiation sits alongside your returns, so the payment follows the filing without manually retyping:
- Konsise shows what’s due per entity and tax type, with the amount, deadline and the correct SARS payment reference
- You initiate the payment to SARS from within the platform
- The payment moves to awaiting SARS, then to reflected at SARS as it’s processed, tracked in near real time
- Everything stays centralised across your entities, with a complete record of what was paid and when
