1. Document Processing Period

All documents completed by Kilgetty Statutory Services (Pty) Ltd are sent to the CIPC who processes them. The processing time varies significantly (3-8 weeks) and Kilgetty Statutory Services (Pty) Ltd has no influence over the speed of this process therefore we are entirely at the mercy of the CIPC regarding all registrations. Please be aware that we have the same access to the CIPC as the general public and in the event of a delay, we suggest that all your queries should be aimed at the CIPC directly. Please contact the call centre at CIPC (086 100 2472) or check their website (www.cipc.co.za) for your documentation as follows:

• Document Search: www.cipc.co.za ➢ our product and services, ➢ document search
• Delay Bulletin: www.cipc.co.za ➢ registration forms, ➢ processing bulletin

Kilgetty Statutory Services (Pty) Ltd’ responsibility is to ensure that your application has been received by the CIPC. For this reason all our correspondence is sent via Docex on a daily basis to the CIPC. Please note that the final documents are either posted directly back to the new members or to our offices should you so indicate.

2. Company Tax Numbers and Tax clearance certificates

Clients must please go to the SARS office to collect a tax clearance certificate and at the same time register for company tax (IT77C) if the SARS computer line is not connected to the CIPC.

3. Bank Accounts for Shelf Companies

The opening of Company business accounts before the amendments are completed will depend on your current relationship with the bank. Please call for an appointment and take the required documents with you.

4. Electronic Name Applications

If you are applying for a company name, please note that due to the inconsistency of the CIPC website there can be a delay that is beyond our control.

Should you elect to utilize the registered address of Kilgetty Statutory Services (Pty) Ltd for the purposes of the storage of your entities documentation and minute book, you will be charged an annual registered office fee of R 1 200.00 per annum for each entity. This fee is normally billed by Kilgetty Statutory Services (Pty) Ltd during the month that your CIPC annual return is due.

Should you elect to deregister you entity, you will still be charged the abovementioned annual registered office fee of R 2 500.00 per annum, pro-rata up until the date that the CIPC has finalized deregistration of the entity.
