How much does CIPC company registration cost in South Africa?

Admin Boss offers CIPC company registration starting from R275 for a Private Company (Pty) Ltd. This includes name reservation, preparation of the Memorandum of Incorporation (MOI), and online submission to CIPC. Additional fees apply for SARS tax registration (Public Officer from R350, PAYE R700, VAT R850), UIF registration (from R450), and COIDA registration (from R350).

What documents do I need to register a company with CIPC?

To register a company with CIPC in South Africa, you need certified copies of each director's identity document or passport, proof of the registered office address (utility bill or lease agreement), and at least one proposed company name (up to four alternatives). Admin Boss handles the entire process remotely.

How long does CIPC company registration take?

CIPC company registration typically takes 1 to 5 business days when documents are submitted correctly. Name reservation is usually processed within 1 business day. Full company registration including the issuance of the Certificate of Incorporation (CoR14.3) and Memorandum of Incorporation (MOI) takes 3 to 5 business days.

What is a SARS public officer and why do I need one?

A SARS public officer is a person appointed to represent a company in all dealings with the South African Revenue Service (SARS). Every company registered in South Africa must appoint a public officer within one month of registering with CIPC. Without a public officer, you cannot complete VAT registration, PAYE registration, income tax registration, or access your tax compliance status. Admin Boss offers public officer appointment services for R350.

How much does PAYE registration cost?

Admin Boss charges R700 for SARS PAYE registration for employers in South Africa. PAYE registration is mandatory for any company that employs staff and pays salaries above the tax threshold. The R700 fee covers the complete registration process including submission to SARS and follow-up until the PAYE reference number is issued.

What is the difference between UIF and COIDA registration?

UIF (Unemployment Insurance Fund) registration and COIDA (Compensation for Occupational Injuries and Diseases Act) registration are two separate labour law requirements in South Africa. UIF registration (from R450) provides short-term relief to workers who become unemployed, ill, or take maternity leave. COIDA registration (from R350) provides compensation to employees injured at work. Every employer must register for UIF.

How do I file CIPC annual returns?

CIPC annual returns must be filed every year within 30 business days after your company's anniversary date. Admin Boss handles annual return filing for R100 plus CIPC's prescribed fees. Failure to file on time results in penalties, and extended non-compliance can lead to company deregistration.

What is a tax clearance certificate from SARS?

A SARS tax clearance certificate is an official document confirming that a taxpayer's tax affairs are in order. Tax clearance certificates are commonly required for government tenders, business contracts, loan applications, and supplier registrations. Admin Boss assists businesses in obtaining tax clearance certificates from SARS.

What is a SARS public officer?

A SARS public officer is the person appointed to represent your company in all dealings with SARS. Every company must appoint one within one month of registration. Without one, you cannot register for VAT, PAYE, or income tax. Admin Boss offers this service for R350.

PAYE vs VAT registration — what’s the difference?

PAYE registration (R700) is for employers who deduct income tax from employee salaries. It’s mandatory if you employ staff above the tax threshold. VAT registration (R850) is for businesses with turnover exceeding R1 million (or voluntary from R50,000). They are separate SARS registrations.

UIF vs COIDA — what’s the difference?

UIF (from R450) provides unemployment, illness, and maternity benefits to employees. Every employer must register. COIDA (from R350) covers compensation for work-related injuries and diseases. Both are mandatory labour law requirements handled remotely by Admin Boss.
