Free Monthly Business Compliance Dashboard South Africa (SARS + CIPC Tracker)

Running a business in South Africa means staying compliant with South African Revenue Service (SARS) and CIPC requirements every single month. Missing deadlines like PAYE, VAT, or EMP501 submissions can lead to penalties, interest, and even legal consequences.

This free Compliance Dashboard helps you track your monthly obligations, monitor your compliance score, and identify risks before they become expensive problems.

What This Compliance Dashboard Does

This tool gives you a real-time overview of your business compliance status, including:

• PAYE (EMP201) monthly submissions
• VAT (VAT201) deadlines
• EMP501 interim and annual reconciliations
• Provisional tax deadlines
• COIDA Return of Earnings

👉 Monthly PAYE must be submitted by the 7th of each month Pay-As-You-Earn
👉 VAT returns are typically due by the 25th of the following month
👉 EMP501 annual reconciliation runs 1 April – 31 May
👉 Interim EMP501 runs until 31 October

Why Monthly Compliance Tracking Matters

Most businesses don’t get into trouble because they don’t know what to do…
They get into trouble because they forget deadlines.

If you miss:

• PAYE → penalties + interest
• VAT → penalties + audit risk
• EMP501 → compliance status issues

👉 SARS requires monthly, interim, and annual submissions — not just once a year

What Happens If You Ignore Compliance?

Ignoring compliance can lead to:

• Financial penalties
• Interest charges on unpaid tax
• Blocked tax clearance certificates
• SARS enforcement action

👉 Late EMP501 submissions can result in monthly penalties up to 10%
