The "Annual" Renewal
Just like a car license, your company needs renewed every year. Failing to do this causes CIPC to mark you as "Deregistration Process", which alerts your bank to freeze your accounts.
- Annual Duty Calculation (Turnover based)
- Filing of Annual Return with CIPC
- Financial Accountability Supplement (FAS) submission
- Restoration of 'AR Final Deregistration' status
- Issuance of Compliance Certificate
Why is this critical?
It's about legal existence, not just compliance.
Strict Deadlines
If you file even one day late, CIPC charges penalties. If you miss 2 years in a row, the deregistration process starts automatically.
Bank Freezing
Banks poll the CIPC database weekly. If your status changes from 'In Business', their risk systems often auto-freeze your account.
Compliance Certificate
We issue the valid Disclosure Certificate immediately after filing. This proves to your clients and suppliers that you exist legally.
The Renewal Workflow
Fast and error-free.
Turnover Check
We ask for your latest turnover figure. This determines the fee CIPC charges (from R100 to R3000).
Calculation
We calculate the exact penalties (if late) and the duty payable to CIPC.
Submission
We file the return and the CoR 30.1 Financial Supplement or Compliance checklist.
Active Status
Your company status updates to 'In Business' and we download your fresh disclosure certificate.
