CIPC Annual Returns

Keep Your Company Compliant and Up to Date

Annual returns are an important part of maintaining your company’s compliance with the Companies and Intellectual Property Commission (CIPC).

Submit Your Annual Returns

What Are CIPC Annual Returns?

A CIPC annual return is a statutory submission made to the Companies and Intellectual Property Commission to confirm that a company or close corporation is still operating and to provide the required information for the relevant reporting period.

Annual returns should not be confused with income tax returns submitted to SARS. They are separate compliance requirements.

B Doyle & Associates assists with annual return submissions for all entities, including multiple outstanding years where applicable.

Why Are Annual Returns Important?

Keeping your annual returns up to date is an important part of maintaining your company’s CIPC compliance.

Failing to submit required annual returns can result in your company falling behind with its statutory obligations and may ultimately affect its status.

Our team can help you identify what needs to be submitted and assist with bringing outstanding annual returns up to date.
