CIPC Compliance Services & Pricing
1. CIPC Beneficial Ownership (BO) Registration
Under the Companies Act 71 of 2008 and updated South African anti-money laundering mandates, CIPC requires all registered entities ((Pty) Ltd, Close Corporations, NPCs) to submit an official Beneficial Ownership (BO) Register.
A Beneficial Owner is any natural person who ultimately owns or exercises effective control over a company (holding 5% or more of shareholding or voting rights).
Required Documents for BO Submission:
- Certified ID or Passport copy of all Directors & Beneficial Owners
- Cor14.3 Company Registration Certificate
- Share Register / Securities Register Document
- Signed Mandate Authorization (Provided by LAIZER HOLDINGS)

2. CIPC Annual Returns Submission
CIPC Annual Returns are mandatory yearly filings required by the Companies and Intellectual Property Commission. It is a statutory requirement to confirm that your company is actively trading and that corporate governance information remains up to date.
Critical Clarification: CIPC Annual Returns are completely separate from SARS Income Tax Returns. Submitting taxes with SARS does NOT fulfill your statutory CIPC filing requirements.
Dangers of Non-Filing:
- Compounding Late Penalties: CIPC levies monthly administrative penalty fees.
- Status Transition: Company status is changed to "AR Deregistration Process".
- Bank Account Freezes: South African banks freeze business accounts when CIPC status becomes inactive.
- Final Deregistration: Complete loss of legal entity status and loss of business name rights.
