APRIL 2025 – SOUTH AFRICA
COID ROE Online System Temporary Shutdown
It is important that employers note the following:
Temporary shutdown of the ROE online system
The Compensation Fund (CF) has encountered a delay in its preparations for the 2024 Return of Earnings (ROE) season. As a result, the system, which was originally set to reopen on 1 April 2025 after the initial shutdown, will remain closed until midnight on 10 April 2025. It will be available for the submission of returns on 11 April 2025 at 08:00.
During the shutdown period, the following services will be affected:
- Employer registrations will not be processed, including those via the CIPC BizPortal platform and the CF’s back-office processes.
- Employers will be unable to declare any return of earnings, either online or manually.
- The CF will not be able to clear employers flagged for audit or process applications for assessment revisions.
- No instalment applications will be considered during this period.
Due to the delay in reopening the system, the expiry date of the current Letters of Good Standing, originally set for 30 April 2025, has been extended to 31 May 2025.
