Tax and statutory registrations, explained and handled

Help registering your company for tax and related employer accounts.

The problem we help with

Once a company exists it usually needs to register with SARS and, if it employs people, for employer-related accounts. The requirements differ by business, and getting them wrong can hold up trading, banking or tenders.

What this service covers

  • Income tax

    Assistance registering your company for income tax with SARS.

  • VAT registration

    Support with VAT registration where your business needs it.

  • PAYE

    Employer registration for employees' tax, where applicable.

  • UIF and COID

    Assistance with Unemployment Insurance Fund and Compensation Fund registrations, which are handled by authorities other than SARS.

Who it is for

Useful for newly registered companies and for existing businesses that have not yet completed their tax and employer registrations. Whether you must register for VAT or PAYE depends on your turnover and whether you employ staff.

Documents and information you may need

  • Company registration documents
  • Director ID and proof of address
  • Business bank account details (where required)
  • Signed authorisation for us to act on your behalf

Required documents vary by registration type. We confirm what applies after your enquiry.

How it works

  1. Tell us which registrations you need or ask us to help decide
  2. We confirm requirements and fees
  3. You provide information and authorisation
  4. We submit the applications and keep you updated
  5. You receive the outcome and supporting documents

Timing varies and depends partly on the relevant authority. We will give you an estimate for your specific request.

Questions about this service

VAT registration rules depend on your business's taxable turnover and other factors. We can explain the general position, but for a definitive answer for your circumstances confirm with SARS or a qualified tax professional.

UIF and COID are administered by other authorities rather than SARS. We assist with those registrations as part of this service category.
