If you’re investigating the option of setting up a business in South Africa, you might already have discovered that one of the business visa requirements is having the correct tax registrations for South Africa in place.
A one-stop tax registration service
Our in-house international tax lawyer can guide foreigners through the required registrations for their business, helping to ensure compliance.
The first step would be doing a full analysis of the company to see which taxes it should be registered for. Following this, our lawyer will help with the following:
- Completion of appropriate registration forms and, where required, supporting evidence.
- VAT applications.
- PAYE and SITE registrations

- As a provisional tax payer.
- As a VAT vendor (where applicable).
- Pay As You Earn (PAYE) income tax on employees.
