Why File Annual Returns with CAC?

Annual Returns are a mandatory requirement under the Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA) for registered entities, regardless of activity status. This statutory filing ensures your business remains legally recognized, compliant, and eligible for CAC post-registration services.

  • Maintain Legal Validity: Keep your Company officially recognized and in good standing with the CAC.

  • Stay Active: Avoid “Inactive” status (marked in red) on the CAC portal. Filing promptly ensures your Company stays “Active” (in green).

  • Required for Post-Registration Filings: Annual Returns must be filed before making changes like alteration of share capital, director details, registered address, or other corporate changes.

  • Avoid Penalties: Failure to file within 42 days of Annual General Meeting (AGM), or by December 31st for Small Companies, attracts penalties and default fees for the Company and its directors.

  • Boost Trust & Credibility: Show transparency to regulators, banks, clients, and other stakeholders.
