Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a Private Company and a Personal Liability Company?

A Private Company is suited for most businesses looking for limited liability protection, with restrictions on share transfers and no obligation to publicly disclose financial information. A Personal Liability Company, on the other hand, is primarily used by professionals like attorneys and accountants, where directors and past directors remain liable for the company's debts.

How long does the CIPC registration process take?

The timeline for CIPC registration can vary depending on the type of registration and the accuracy of submitted information. Generally, company registrations are completed within 5 to 10 working days, while other services like name reservation can take a few days. Smtax prioritises efficient processing to minimise delays.

Why is an Annual Return important for my company?

Filing an Annual Return is mandatory to keep your company’s registration active and maintain compliance with CIPC. It updates your company information on the official register, helping avoid penalties or deregistration, which can impact your business operations and legal standing.

What are the benefits of a BBBEE Affidavit?

A BBBEE Affidavit simplifies the process for small businesses to demonstrate their compliance with Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment standards. It can improve your business opportunities with government and corporate clients who prioritise suppliers demonstrating a commitment to economic transformation.

Can Smtax help if I make a mistake during my registration application?

Absolutely! If you encounter errors or discrepancies during your registration application, our experienced team is here to assist in correcting and resubmitting the necessary information to ensure your registration or compliance process continues smoothly

What documents are required for a Name Change?

For a Name Change, you will typically need to provide a resolution from the company's board of directors, current company registration details, and the proposed new name. Smtax can guide you through the specific documentation requirements to ensure a successful application.

Why should I register on the Central Supplier Database (CSD)?

Registering on the CSD is crucial for businesses that want to supply goods and services to the government. It validates your business as a legitimate supplier, streamlining access to a variety of public sector opportunities and contracts.

oes SMTAX help with complex share transactions such as share buybacks and employee share schemes?

Yes, SMTAX has expertise in handling complex share transactions including share buybacks and the structuring of employee share schemes. We understand that these transactions involve intricate legal and financial considerations. Our team works closely with you to navigate regulatory requirements, ensure compliance with corporate governance standards, and tailor solutions that align with your company's strategic objectives

Can SMTAX assist with amending the Memorandum of Incorporation (MOI) if my business structure changes?

Yes, SMTAX can assist with amending your company's Memorandum of Incorporation (MOI) to reflect changes in your business structure or strategic direction. The MOI outlines the governance framework and operational rules for your company, and modifications may be necessary due to shifts in ownership, management policies, or the issuance of new types of shares.

Does SMTAX have a CIPC Annual Return reminder service?

Yes, SMTAX offers a CIPC Annual Return reminder service to help ensure your company remains in good standing. We understand that keeping track of filing deadlines can be challenging amidst daily business operations. Our reminder service notifies you ahead of time, allowing you ample opportunity to gather necessary documents and submit your annual return on time, thus avoiding late penalties or potential deregistration.
