SARS Public Officer

Appointing a SARS Public Officer is a legal requirement for all registered companies in South Africa. The Public Officer acts as the main contact person with SARS for all tax matters. This appointment should be done immediately after company registration to ensure tax compliance and avoid penalties.

Income Tax Return

Registering on the Central Supplier Database (CSD) is essential for businesses wishing to do business with any government department or entity. CSD registration allows your company to be considered for tenders and procurement opportunities. This should be completed if you plan to work with the public sector.

Learn More

Tax Clearance PIN

A Tax Compliance Status (TCS) Pin is your company’s digital proof of good tax standing with SARS. Many clients, banks, and government entities will request your TCS Pin before entering into contracts or releasing payments. Obtain your TCS Pin once your company is registered and tax matters are up to date.

Financial Statements

Declaring your company’s beneficial ownership is a regulatory requirement in South Africa. This declaration identifies the individuals who ultimately own or control the company, promoting transparency and preventing financial crimes. Complete this declaration to remain compliant.

PAYE Registration

Register for Pay-As-You-Earn (PAYE) if your company will be employing staff. Registration ensures you can legally deduct and submit employees’ income tax to SARS. You need to register before your first payroll run or after you hire your first employee.

VAT Registration

Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF) registration is compulsory for all employers and provides support to employees who become unemployed. Register with UIF after hiring your first staff member to ensure labour compliance.

Learn More

PBO Registration

The Compensation for Occupational Injuries and Diseases Act (COIDA) registration protects both your business and employees in case of workplace injuries or diseases. COIDA registration is required before employees start work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Monthly Tax Compliance is our ongoing service that helps you stay on top of key SARS submissions, deadlines, and compliance requirements—without leaving everything until the last minute. We support you digitally, so you can get help from anywhere and on any device.

Our Monthly Tax Compliance packages start from R1,795 per month for our Start plan. Our Run plan is R3,575 per month, and our Grow plan is R5,965 per month. The best plan for you depends on your turnover, whether you have employees, and whether you need added services like payroll or VAT support.

Our Start plan is designed for smaller businesses (for example, under R500k turnover per year, with no employees). It includes key tax compliance items such as SARS correspondence notifications, Income Tax Return submission, Provisional Tax Return submission, and Tax Clearance Status PIN support.

Start also includes accounting support (Xero setup & support, monthly bookkeeping, expense capturing) and core CIPC compliance support (annual return reminders and submission, beneficial ownership register support, and BBBEE affidavit templates).

Our Run plan is designed for growing businesses (for example, under R1 million turnover per year) with existing employees. It includes everything in Start and adds payroll-related support and additional reporting, including payroll administration and PAYE/UIF/COIDA-related submissions as listed in the plan.

Our Grow plan is built for businesses with more complex compliance needs. It includes everything in Run, plus VAT return submission and SARS audit assistance as listed in the package.
