Are there any restrictions to the transfer of interests in joint stock companies (S.A's)?
The law does not restrict the transfer of shares; however, the articles of association may lay down certain requirements or restrictions on the transfer of shares.
How long does the transfer process take?
It can vary, but the process usually takes between 2 and 4 weeks, depending on how quickly the required documents can be obtained and the complexity of the case.
Must the transfer of interests in joint stock companies be registered in the Commercial Registry Office?
No, you just need to have it recorded in the Share Register and entered in the relevant share certificates (where applicable).
Although registration with the Commercial Registry Office is not required, share sales must be reported to the tax authorities by submitting Form 4.
