5 statutory requirements that we can assist with are:

  • Tax
As a business owner, you are required to register your business with the South African Revenue Service (SARS) for income tax, VAT (where applicable) as well as taxes relating to payroll. If you have employees, tax should be deducted from their salaries monthly and paid to SARS on their behalf.
  • Labour Laws
All business owners are required to observe the provisions of the Basic Conditions of Employment Act. This Act regulates the relationship between employers and their employees, protecting both parties.
  • Health & Safety
The Occupational Health and Safety Act sets out important guidelines on taking care of your workers in the workplace.
  • Municipal Bylaws
Municipal bylaws may also impact your business. There refer to governing zoning, noise levels, hygiene restrictions, etc.
