You can pay arrears to the UIF for the years you did not contribute for your domestic worker. It is possible to register your domestic worker and pay arrears to the UIF for the years that you have not paid over the UIF contributions and deductions. Since UIF non-payment is an offence, the UIF will levy a 10% penalty on these back contributions, and they will also calculate a daily amount of interest owing which will vary as there are fluctuations.
uFiling online does not allow for the payment of penalties and Interest. Please contact the UIF directly to obtain the correct amounts for penalties and Interest. The UIF will then provide you with the correct reference numbers and account number to use when paying penalties and Interest.
