The act of submitting your Annual Return to the CIPC is seen as an indication that your company is still trading, or has the intention to trade in the future. Technically you do not renew your Company Registration, but you rather confirm it with the submission of your Annual Returns to CIPC.

According to South African law, you have to submit your Annual Return if you wish to keep your Company registered and active on the CIPC’s records.

The CIPC is an acronym for the Companies and Intellectual Property Commission.

This commission administers 15 different parts of the law that relate to the regulation of corporate and intellectual property in South Africa. Corporate and Intellectual property includes companies. This is why the CIPC executes company registrations.

The CIPC is largely based on the Companies Act (2008).

If you sign up for one of our CIPC-related services, our company experts will represent you at the CIPC. Our team has been working with the CIPC since 2006.

The law requires every South Africa company to submit their Annual Return to the CIPC yearly within a specific period. The Annual Return includes submitting your company’s yearly turnover to the CIPC. If you wish to keep your Company registered on the CIPC’s records, you must register your Company every year within the prescribed period. If you don’t, the CIPC assumes your company is no longer active, and they may start the deregistration process.

Every company has a unique due date. Your first Annual Returns are due within 30 days after the first day your company is registered at the CIPC.

Every year thereafter, you need to submit your Annual Returns within one month of your CIPC registration date. If, for example, your company was registered on the 1st of March, it should be submitted every year on the 1st of April.

The Compensation Fund is a fund that administrates the financial contributions of South African employers and the claims by South African employees or their dependents regarding work-related deaths, injuries or diseases.

This fund forces employers to make provision to financially compensate their employees (or their dependents) in the case of any work-related incidents that cause death, harm or illness to their employees.

Almost all South African Employers are required by law to contribute to it. In turn, the fund offers financial assistance and/or compensation for occupational injuries, diseases or deaths to employees or their dependents.

The Compensation Fund is administered by the Compensation Commissioner who approves the claims.

Most South African Employers have to register for COIDA.

If you employ one or more part- or full-time employees you have to register with the Compensation Fund (COIDA). You have to register with the Commissioner at the Compensation Fund within the first 7 days of employing your first employee. If you’re unsure, rather start the COIDA Registration process to find out whether you should than neglecting to do so.

If you neglect to submit your Annual Returns at the CIPC when it’s due, the commission may deregister your company.

Late submission can be made but penalty fees will apply.

If you do not submit your Annual Return, your company will be removed by the CIPC from its active records after a while. Legally this means your company will no longer be a Pty Company, it will stop existing as a legal entity.

The CIPC will send you notices to your registered business address that your company will soon be deregistered if you do not intervene promptly by submitting your outstanding annual returns.

Whether or not your company can apply for a specific Tender, Contract or RFQ depends on your paperwork.

We can help you fast-track these timeframes. Simply talk to one of our consultants. We offer every entrepreneur in South Africa a free business consultation.
