FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

You must register with COIDA within 7 days of employing your first worker. Annual Return of Earnings must be submitted by March 31 each year. Failure to register can result in penalties and inability to claim for workplace injuries.

A Tax Clearance Certificate (TCC) proves your business is tax compliant. It's required for government tenders, many enterprise contracts, and financing applications. We help maintain your TCC status and resolve any compliance issues with SARS.

Yes, all businesses that process personal information must comply with POPIA, regardless of size. This includes having a privacy policy, registering an Information Officer, and implementing appropriate data security measures.

Exempted Micro Enterprises (EMEs) with annual turnover of R10 million or less can use a sworn affidavit instead of a full B-BBEE certificate. We help prepare and notarize these affidavits to ensure they meet regulatory requirements.

We recommend quarterly reviews for most SMEs. However, businesses in highly regulated industries or those experiencing rapid growth should consider monthly reviews. Our retainer packages include regular compliance monitoring to keep you on track.
