 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A massive thank you to Tax Shop Outeniqua who sorted out my personal tax and my optometry practice's bookkeeping and tax issues. Since switching to Tax Shop Outeniqua my tax submissions and financials are up to date, and not only am I saving money on accounting fees, but they've also saved me money by optimising tax legislation.  I highly recommend their services!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Honestly, one of the best experiences I have had with a Tax Consultant. I was very nervous, because I had a rather complicated tax issue, that had caused other advisors to withdraw their services. However, Morne and his team not only handled the issue with care and diligence but also helped me feel calm and provided me with constant reassurance throughout the entire process. I recommend them to anyone needing help!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t recommend Tax Shop Outeniqua, Morné & Carla highly enough. As a sole proprietor, I used to dread accounting and tax season, constant worry about compliance, SARS deadlines and the fear of making costly mistakes that could hurt my business. My books were a mess and the stress was overwhelming.

From the very first consultation, Carla and Morné changed everything. They listened patiently to my situation, asked the right questions and quickly took over with calm professionalism. Their expertise in accounting and tax for small businesses is impressive, they’re true subject matter experts who stay on top of the latest SARS rules and requirements.

What stood out most was their diligence: nothing slips through the cracks. They explained complex things in plain language, so I actually understood what was happening instead of feeling lost.

Thanks to them, I now have peace of mind knowing my accounting and tax affairs are in incredibly capable hands.

If you’re a sole proprietor or small business owner in feeling overwhelmed, schedule a consultation with Carla and Morné at Tax Shop. They truly transformed my experience from stressful to stress-free. Thank you both, you’re legends! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some frequently asked questions about our company registration services.

How much does it cost to register a business?

The cost to register a business with the CIPC typically depends on the type of company you're registering and any additional services you need. A standard Pty Ltd registration starts from a basic government fee, with optional service fees if you use a registration service provider. Contact us for a clear, upfront quote based on your specific requirements.

Who is the CIPC and what does it have to do with my business?

The CIPC (Companies and Intellectual Property Commission) is the official government body in South Africa responsible for registering companies and ensuring they comply with legal requirements. It handles company registration, business name registration and ongoing compliance such as annual returns, it's the authority that legally recognises your business and keeps it in good standing.

Why should I register my business?

Registering your business makes it a legal entity, which gives you credibility and protects your brand name. It allows you to operate officially, open a business bank account, apply for funding, and enter into contracts in your company's name, while helping ensure compliance with CIPC requirements and avoiding legal issues.

Do Pty Ltd companies pay tax in South Africa?

Yes. Once your business is registered, it's usually required to register with SARS and pay taxes such as corporate income tax on profits. Depending on your turnover and structure, you may also need to pay VAT and other applicable taxes, so all registered companies must stay tax compliant.

What are the requirements to register a company in South Africa?

You generally need a unique company name or CIPC name reservation, at least one director who is 18 or older, a valid South African ID or passport for each director, a physical or registered business address, and details of shareholders and their share allocation. Once your incorporation documents are submitted and approved, your company is officially registered and can start operating legally.

Does a company require a separate bank account?

Yes, a registered company should have a separate business bank account. This keeps your business finances separate from personal finances, makes bookkeeping and accounting easier, and is usually required when dealing with SARS, clients or suppliers, while also making your company appear more professional.

What are beneficial ownership documents?

Beneficial ownership documents identify the individuals who ultimately own or control a company, even if the shares are held in someone else's name. In South Africa this information is required by the CIPC to improve transparency, and usually includes full names, ID numbers, ownership percentages and supporting identification for each beneficial owner. We can help you submit this through our company secretarial services.

Do you also offer company VAT registration services?

Yes, we also assist with VAT registration for companies. This includes helping you apply with SARS, checking whether your business meets the requirements, and making sure your VAT registration is completed correctly so you can trade and remain fully compliant.

What are company annual returns, and can you assist with this?

Company annual returns are a yearly CIPC submission that confirms your business is still active and its details are up to date. Yes, we can assist with filing your annual returns, making sure everything is submitted correctly and on time to keep your company compliant and in good standing.
