What is Beneficial Ownership? Beneficial ownership refers to the individuals who ultimately own, control, or benefit from a company, even if their names are not listed as the registered owners. In South Africa, the Companies and Intellectual Property Commission (CIPC) requires all companies and close corporations to declare their beneficial owners to promote transparency, prevent fraud, and combat financial crimes.
When Should I File for Beneficial Ownership?
In South Africa, you must file your Beneficial Ownership details with the Companies and Intellectual Property Commission (CIPC) within 30 days of your company’s incorporation or within 30 days of any change to your beneficial owners. This includes changes in shareholding, control, or management. Existing companies must also submit their Beneficial Ownership Register as part of their annual return filing.
