Entities are required to submit their annual returns to CIPC within 30 business days after the year-end, with the exception of Close Corporations, which have 60 business days for the submission of their annual financial statements. The submission should include the latest final approved audited or independently reviewed annual financial statements, and both the annual returns and financial statements must be filed on the same day.

Failure to submit Annual Financial Statements (AFS) leads to an investigation, followed by a compliance notice with a specified deadline. Non-compliance may result in fines or formal prosecution. Additionally, not submitting CIPC Annual Returns may lead to entity de-registration and the imposition of penalties.
