Why it is important for your company to have a registered public officer
What is a public officer?
The public officer is the contact person registered at SARS who is responsible for the tax matters of the private company. This also applies to close corporations and non profit companies. This person is responsible to ensure that all tax returns are submitted and money payable to SARS are being paid.
What happens if there is no public officer registered?
If the company does not have a registered public officer, the company will not be able to access eFiling. This means that the company will not be able to submit tax returns, register for other tax types like PAYE or obtain a tax clearance. Thus, it is very important to have one, as it is important to keep the company’s taxes up to date in order to avoid penalties etc.
