Gqeberha, still widely known as Port Elizabeth, is South Africa's automotive capital, anchored by vehicle assembly, component plants, the Coega SEZ and two working ports. Patuza handles SARS submissions (EMP201, EMP501, IRP5), UIF, SDL and payslips for Gqeberha employers — fixed monthly pricing, no lock-in, POPIA-aligned.
Registered Tax Practitioner + Certified Payroll Practitioner. EMP201, EMP501, IRP5, UIF and SDL submitted on your behalf.
We work with Gqeberha-based SMEs, professional firms and franchises across Central, Newton Park, Walmer and surrounds.
Per-payslip pricing with no setup fees. Switch mid-year without breaking IRP5s at year-end.
Gqeberha payroll is automotive payroll. Component manufacturers in Struandale, Markman, Deal Party and the Coega IDZ run production shifts, attendance and production bonuses, short time when a plant slows, and MIBCO or MEIBC contributions with their own grade tables. We build those rules into the payroll so a short-time week or a shutdown period does not turn into a manual recalculation.
Beyond the automotive chain, Gqeberha carries call centres, logistics, food processing and a strong professional-services base in Newton Park, Walmer and Summerstrand. Patuza handles commission and incentive structures, casual and fixed-term staff, and the full SARS cycle — EMP201 monthly, EMP501 twice a year, IRP5s at year-end.

Payroll touches the owner, the finance team and HR differently. Here is what each of them gets from Patuza.
Everything a growing South African employer needs — SARS registrations, compliant payslips and monthly submissions — for a predictable per-payslip fee.
A payroll you can reconcile, defend in audit and forecast from — with EMP201s, EMP501s and the general-ledger interface handled to deadline.
Balanced payroll journals, cost-centre reporting and third-party schedules delivered before your month-end close — every cycle.
Accurate payslips, defensible leave balances and clean terminations — so HR spends its time on people, not pay queries.
Extra capacity and a second pair of expert hands — parallel runs, leave liability, council rates and EMP501 reconciliation handled with you, not around you.
Hand the payroll over with confidence — Patuza takes the processing and the deadlines, and you keep control and visibility.
Clocking-to-payslip flow that works on site — overtime, shift and contractor hours captured, costed and reported per site before they blow the budget.
Transparent, itemised payslips and calculations that stand up to scrutiny in the workplace and at the CCMA.
SARS submissions that reconcile first time — EMP201, EMP501, IRP5/IT3(a), tax directives and ETI claims prepared with the evidence to back them.

Most Gqeberha employers pay between R70 and R140 per payslip per month, with no setup fee. The price is fixed monthly and covers processing, payslips, EMP201 filing, UIF declarations and year-end IRP5s.
Vehicle assemblers and component suppliers, port and logistics operators, general manufacturers, agri-processors, hotels and BPO call centres. We build the earnings, deduction and allowance structures those employers actually use, rather than a generic template.
Yes — MEIBC and the automotive agreements dominate here, with MIBCO for dealerships and workshops, NBCRFLI for freight and BCCEI for construction. Contributions are calculated per member each pay cycle and the council returns are filed on your behalf.
No. Patuza runs entirely in the cloud, so we serve Gqeberha, Kariega (Uitenhage), Despatch, Coega and the Nelson Mandela Bay metro and the surrounding district with the same turnaround. Documents are exchanged securely and no site visit is required.
Yes. We take over from Sage, SimplePay, PaySpace, Pastel or a spreadsheet mid-year without breaking the IRP5 reconciliation. Take-on usually runs two to four weeks, including a parallel run so the figures agree before we go live.
Usually the owner, financial manager or HR lead. We give each of them what they need — a reconciled payroll journal for finance, clean leave and engagement records for HR, and a single monthly figure for the owner.
Yes. Employees are placed on the correct MIBCO sector and grade, and council, provident fund and sick-pay contributions are calculated per member and submitted with the monthly return.
Yes. Short time, layoff and shutdown periods are processed against the correct leave and pay rules, and UIF declarations are updated so employees' claims are not delayed.
