Group of Companies

What is a Group of Companies?

A group is when one company controls one or more other companies, typically through shareholding.

Think of it like this…

It’s a family of companies with a parent at the top.

Why does it matter?

  • Can have tax consolidation or reporting implications
  • May trigger related‑party disclosure requirements
  • Often relevant for B‑BBEE and compliance scoring

Best practice

Maintain clear ownership records and intercompany agreements.
