The deadlines you're up against
- S01 (monthly): due by the 14th of the following month — see how to file your S01.
- S02 (annual): generally due by 31 March for the previous tax year — see how to file your S02.
Both the filing of the return and the payment of the deductions matter — being late on either side is what triggers consequences.
What late can cost you
- Penalties. A late return or late payment can attract a penalty under the tax laws.
- Interest. Outstanding amounts can accrue interest until they're paid — so the longer it sits, the more it grows.
- Time and stress. Sorting out a late filing, a query or an assessment takes time you'd rather spend running your business.
Because the figures change with the law, we don't quote a rate here — the point is simply that late is more expensive than on-time, and avoidable.
Why businesses end up late (and how to not)
The deadline slips by
The 14th arrives mid-task and the remittance gets forgotten. A countdown that's in front of you fixes this — Brawta shows the days left on the dashboard.
The totals don't tie out
Scrambling to reconcile near the deadline is where mistakes creep in. Totalling the S01 from your actual pay runs each month keeps it clean.
A calculation slip
A wrong rate or a missed employer contribution can under-remit. A tested engine that applies the current rates removes that risk.
Year-end surprises
If the twelve monthly S01s don't reconcile to the S02, you find out at the worst time. Reconciling as you go means no scramble in March.
On-time, every time — without thinking about it.
Brawta totals your S01 and S02 from your real pay runs, applies the current rates, and shows a live countdown to the 14th — so filing on time is the easy path. Private on your own machine. Free to try.
