CAC annual returns and ongoing compliance
Registration is the start. Keeping your company records current matters too. We help you understand what your entity needs and support the filing.
Annual returns are filed with the CAC and are different from tax returns, which go to tax authorities.
Often helpful to have ready
- Company name and registration number
- Details of directors and shareholders
- Previous filings or certificates
- Registered address and contact details
Exact requirements depend on your entity. We confirm them for your case.
FAQ
Questions we often hear
Short, plain-English answers. For your own situation, please get in touch.
What is the difference between a business name and a company?
A registered business name is usually used by an individual or partners trading under a name. A company is a separate legal entity with directors and shareholders. Which one suits you depends on your plans, ownership and risk. We can walk through the options with you.
Are annual returns the same as tax returns?
No. Annual returns are filed with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) to keep the company's record up to date. Tax returns are filed with tax authorities and deal with tax. They are separate obligations, and meeting one does not replace the other.
Does my business need to file annual returns?
It depends on the type of entity and its circumstances. Registered companies are generally expected to keep their records current with the CAC. Contact us and we will confirm what applies to your entity before you spend any money.
What if my company has missed filings in previous years?
Start by finding out what the record currently shows. We can review your company's position, explain what appears to be outstanding and discuss a sensible route to bringing it up to date. We do not assume any particular penalty applies to you, and outcomes cannot be guaranteed.
What documents should I have ready to start?
It varies by service. For many CAC matters it helps to have your company name and registration number, details of directors and shareholders, and any previous certificates or filings. We will confirm the exact list for your case.
