Before filing: beneficial ownership and the required AFS or FAS information must be on file before CIPC accepts the annual return.
How CIPC charges
Every missed year has a price.
The filing window matters
A return is late once it falls outside 30 business days after the company's registration anniversary.
Each year is charged
Every outstanding year attracts its own fee. The newest year uses the on-time rate only when it is still inside the filing window.
Deregistered means reinstate
The calculator adds the R200 CoR40.5 fee, but additional reinstatement requirements and service costs may apply.
