Congrats on setting up your own company.

My recommendation is contact an accountant and get them to sort out all your registrations.

Also, make sure your tax registrations are also correct and up to date - you don't want to fall foul of SARS.

Get an accountant to sort out the tax.

For a Pty ltd, this is what needs to happen:

1. IT77c form to register as a taxpayer (the company I mean). You will need FICA documents and a stamped bank statement of the company's bank statements.
2. EMP101 if you want to have your company pay you a salary. This include UIF, PAYE and SDL. Same docs if I recall correctly.
3. Another form to state the home and work address is the same.

Remember that you will also need to register as a normal taxpayer if not done yet. Especially if you want to get a salary from your company.

The reason I know this is the fact that my wife and I are going through the same process.
