What Is Beneficial Ownership Submission?
A Beneficial Ownership Submission is the process of declaring the real people who ultimately own or control a company. This is required by the CIPC to improve transparency and prevent fraud, money laundering, and illegal activity.
Who Must Submit Beneficial Ownership Information?
The following entities must submit Beneficial Ownership information to the CIPC:
- Private companies (Pty Ltd)
- Public companies
- Non-profit companies
- Close corporations
- Trusts (where applicable)
What Counts as a Beneficial Owner?
A beneficial owner is a person who:
- Owns 25% or more of the company shares
- Controls the company through voting rights
- Directly or indirectly controls decision making
If no person meets the threshold, the company must still submit a declaration stating the reasons.
Deadlines & Submission Requirements
Beneficial Ownership information must be updated whenever there are changes to ownership or control. Many companies also need to submit BO details annually when filing annual returns.
