Submit your Annual Return to CIPC - SA Corporate Registrations

Step 1 of 5

All Companies (including external companies) NPC’s and Close Corporations are required by law to lodge their annual returns with the CIPC within a certain period of time every year.

An annual return is a statutory return in terms of the Companies and Close Corporations Acts and therefore MUST be complied with. Failure to do so will result in the Commission assuming that the Company and/or Close Corporation is not doing business or is not intending on doing business in the near future. Non-compliance with annual returns may lead to deregistration, which has the effect that the juristic personality is withdrawn and the Company or Close Corporation ceases to exist.
- Companies have 30 business days from the due date to lodge annual returns before it is in non-compliance with the Companies Act.
- Annual returns can only be filed electronically and the CIPC requires that either the Annual Financial Statements or the Financial Accountability Supplement (CoR30.2) be submitted.

Processing time

The CIPC Annual return is filed annually, one day after the date of incorporation of the enterprise. Our office will submit the Annual return within the prescribed time, if the entity has not been deregistered and after receiving payment from you.

Costs

Our fees for submitting the Annual Return and the Annual Financial Statements/Financial Accountability Supplement is R950.00, excluding VAT and the CIPC Fees.
