Annual Returns Filing
Help preparing and filing your CAC annual returns so your company records stay in order.
Registered companies and many other registered entities are expected to keep their corporate records current with the Corporate Affairs Commission, which includes filing annual returns. Annual returns are different from tax returns: they are filed with the CAC and update the public record about your company, while tax returns are filed with tax authorities.
We help you work out what needs to be filed for your entity, gather the information and documents, and complete the filing process. Requirements, forms and timelines can change, so we confirm the current position for your case before filing.
Who this helps
- Companies that have not filed returns for one or more years
- Businesses that want a reliable yearly compliance routine
- Owners who are unsure what their entity must file
How we can help
- Reviewing your CAC record to see what appears to be outstanding
- Preparing the information needed for annual returns
- Filing support and follow-up
- Setting up a simple yearly compliance reminder routine
What you may need to provide
- Company name and registration number
- Details of directors, shareholders and company secretary
- Financial statements or information where they apply to your entity
- Registered address and contact details
- Details of any changes since the last filing
Please note: We do not assume any particular deadline or penalty applies to you. Contact us and we will confirm the requirements for your entity.
