Church registration

Hi kavesh

For CIPC registration see https://www.gov.za/services/register...profit-company

Vat registration is not that clear cut:
"It follows, for example, that to the extent that a person –
• does not make any supplies of goods or services to another person; or
• only makes supplies of goods or services to other persons for no consideration; or
• only makes exempt supplies or out-of-scope supplies for VAT purposes;
that person may not register for VAT."

So the question as I see it is what taxable supplies are made?

See the VAT 414 Guide

Thanks for the reply. With regards to VAT they make and cannot see them making any taxable supplies going forward, they are a church after all.

I was chatting to a friend who belongs to another church and he told me that they are not registered with CIPC, but the department of social services. So now I am a little confused, do these organisations have the option to register with either CIPC or department of social services or is it dependent of some form of criteria.
