🎥 Part 9 of 10 – Sage Payroll Imports Made Easy
This video is Part 9 of my Sage Payroll Import Series – and today we’re tackling one of the most overlooked (but powerful) government incentives for South African employers: the Employment Tax Incentive (ETI).
✅ Want SARS to pay you for hiring young staff?
✅ Already claimed ETI in your previous system but now moving to Sage?
✅ Want to make sure your Sage EMP201 and EMP501 reports line up perfectly?

Then this video is for you.
I'll show you exactly how to import your ETI data into Sage Business Cloud Payroll—accurately, confidently, and in full compliance. No more missed months, incorrect ages, or ETI that disappears mid-tax year. I’ll even show you how to prove it’s right using the Sage ETI report.

Here’s what you’ll learn:
When ETI should kick in—and when it must stop!
How to fix Sage’s ETI assumptions when you’re migrating mid-year
Where to find, verify, and match ETI across Sage and historic reports
The number one mistake people make when importing ETI
How to avoid awkward ETI gaps on your EMP501 😬
