CIPC annual returns help keep a company in an active status. They are different from tax returns and must be handled through the company’s CIPC record.
Prepare before filing
- Company registration number
- Current turnover information
- Correct director and contact details
- Current Beneficial Ownership and securities information
Do not ignore outstanding years
Late or missing annual returns can affect the company’s status and may result in additional fees or deregistration action. The amount due depends on the company record and the applicable CIPC requirements.
Keep proof
Store the filing confirmation and updated disclosure information with the company file. Check that Beneficial Ownership and related securities information remain consistent.
Important
Requirements and processing times depend on complete documents, system availability and the relevant authority. This general information is not an official verification of your company’s status.
