Annual returns
Every company files an annual return within 30 business days of its registration anniversary, even if it did not trade. We work out the CIPC fee and file it for you.
Annual return filing
Our fee to file one CIPC annual return. The CIPC fee depends on turnover and is quoted before we file.
What's included

- CIPC fee calculated from your turnover before you pay it
- Filing and the confirmation certificate
- A reminder before next year’s deadline
What you'll need

Our fee is R300 per return. CIPC charges its own fee (roughly R100 to R4 000 depending on turnover and any late penalty); we quote it in your portal before filing.

Questions
What is an annual return?
A yearly confirmation to CIPC that your company still exists and is (or will be) trading. Think of it as renewing your company for another year.
My company did not trade. Do I still file?
Yes. A dormant company files a zero-turnover return. Skipping it leads to penalties and eventually deregistration.
What if I am already late?
We file the outstanding years in order and tell you the penalty upfront. The sooner, the cheaper.
