SARS Registration Services
SACORP Group
What Is SARS Registration?
SARS registration is the process of officially registering your business entity with the South African Revenue Service. This allows your company to be recognized for tax purposes and ensures compliance with government regulations regarding employee taxes and business contributions.
Proper SARS registration is mandatory for all South African businesses operating as (Pty) Ltds, partnerships, or sole proprietors who intend to hire employees or earn above the VAT threshold.
Services We Provide
VAT Registration
If your business earns more than R1 million in turnover within a 12-month period, VAT registration is compulsory. However, many smaller businesses also choose to register voluntarily for strategic reasons, such as improving their professional image or claiming input tax. At SACORP Group, we’ll assess your business’s financials and guide you through whether compulsory or voluntary VAT registration is the best route. We manage the full process — from documentation to submission — and keep you informed every step of the way.
PAYE (Pay As You Earn) Registration
As soon as your business begins employing staff and paying them above the tax threshold, PAYE (Pay As You Earn) registration becomes mandatory. This allows your business to deduct employees’ income tax and remit it to SARS on a monthly basis. We’ll handle the registration and help you implement the right systems to manage ongoing PAYE submissions, ensuring your business avoids costly errors or late penalties.
UIF (Unemployment Insurance Fund) Registration
The Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF) provides financial support to workers who become unemployed or are unable to work due to maternity leave, illness, or adoption leave. UIF registration is legally required for any business that pays employees more than R500 per month. SACORP Group will register your business for UIF and assist with the setup of monthly contributions, ensuring compliance and smooth operations.
Workmen’s Compensation (COIDA)
Workmen’s Compensation — also referred to as COIDA — is essential for protecting both your business and your employees in the event of workplace injuries or diseases. Registration with the Compensation Fund ensures your staff are covered and that your business meets legal obligations under South African labour laws. We’ll help you complete the necessary paperwork, ensure proper filing, and handle renewals and annual returns on your behalf.
Required Documentation
To register your business with SARS, several documents are required. These typically include your company’s CIPC registration certificate, certified ID copies of all directors, proof of your business’s physical address, banking details, and employee information where applicable. At SACORP Group, we’ll work with you to collect and verify all necessary documents before submitting your application to SARS. Our streamlined process minimizes delays and ensures accuracy.
How Long Does the Process Take?
The typical turnaround time for SARS registration ranges from 3 to 5 working days, depending on the type of registration and how quickly documentation is provided. SACORP Group monitors the entire process, communicates directly with SARS where necessary, and keeps you updated until registration is confirmed. Our goal is to make the experience stress-free so you can focus on growing your business.
