Small Business Compliance Calendar South Africa

Every month

• Keep bookkeeping and source documents current.
• Reconcile business banking and customer receipts.
• If registered as an employer, handle payroll declarations/payments by the applicable deadlines.
• If VAT registered, file/pay according to the assigned VAT period.

During the tax year

Companies automatically fall into the provisional-tax system; SARS explains that provisional tax normally involves advance payments based on estimated taxable income.

Every year: CIPC

File the CIPC annual return in the prescribed window and ensure beneficial-ownership information plus AFS/FAS requirements are addressed. CIPC says two outstanding annual returns can place an entity into the deregistration process.

Always keep current

Company contacts, directors, SARS registered particulars, banking details, contracts, licences and CSD information where relevant.

BXE reminder layer

BXE can provide a business-admin reminder/dashboard layer. The authoritative filing remains on CIPC, SARS, UIF or other relevant systems.
