Avoid late penalties
Filing after the deadline costs more because CIPC adds late fees to outstanding annual returns.

CIPC Annual Returns
A yearly CIPC filing that keeps your company compliant and in good standing.
Why you need it
Why Your Company Must File Its Annual Return
Filing your annual return keeps CIPC's records current and helps protect your company's registration.
Keep your company active
Companies that stop filing can be deregistered, which can affect your ability to trade and use your company's name.
Stay tender and bank ready
Government tenders, the CSD, banks and many clients check that your company is in good standing before working with you.
Meet ownership rules
Your annual return goes hand in hand with declaring who owns and controls the company, which CIPC now requires.
