Questions people ask

Is this the same as SARS tax filing?

No. CIPC filings deal with company records and company-secretarial compliance. SARS tax returns, VAT and PAYE are separate and must be scoped separately.

Can Mitrend Accounting guarantee CIPC processing time?

No. We prepare and support the filing workflow, but final processing times remain subject to CIPC systems and requirements.
