What is Beneficial Ownership (UBO)?
Beneficial Ownership refers to the natural persons who ultimately own or control a company. Under South African law (Section 56 of the Companies Act), companies must maintain a register of beneficial owners and file this information with CIPC.
Who Qualifies as a Beneficial Owner?
A beneficial owner is a natural person who:
- Directly or indirectly holds at least 5% of the beneficial interest in the company
- Has the right to exercise, or actually exercises, significant control or influence over the company
- Controls voting rights, board appointments, or other material influence mechanisms
When Must Beneficial Ownership Be Filed?
- New Companies: Within 10 business days after incorporation (if registered after 24 May 2023)
- Updates: Within 10 business days of any change in beneficial ownership
- Annual Filing: Must be submitted with annual returns each year
Why Beneficial Ownership Compliance is Critical
From 1 July 2024, CIPC requires beneficial ownership information to be current before processing annual returns. Non-compliance can result in:
- Inability to file annual returns
- CIPC penalties and compliance notices
- Potential company deregistration
- Director disqualification risks
- Regulatory investigations
