5 Things Every Company Director Should Know
Annual Return Date
Every company, whether trading or not, must file an annual return each year at the CRO not later than 28 days from its statutory annual return date (ARD). The ARD of every company can be checked free of charge on the CRO website.Quick Company Formations can file your annual return for you.
Filing Accounts with the Annual Return
In almost every case, accounts must be attached to that return; the financial year end of those accounts must be no earlier than nine months before the date of the return. To comply with that requirement, it might be necessary to change your company’s ARD. Changing an ARD is possible only if the statutory provisions are followed in full.
Penalties
Where returns are not filed on time, a substantial late filing penalty must be paid and further enforcement actions may be pursued by the CRO.
Reminders
Reminders and other important notices are sent to companies at their registered office as notified to the CRO. If the address is wrong you may not become aware of important information regarding your company. The registered office of every company can be checked on the CRO website. Quick Company Formations can provide a Registered Office address.
Directors are Responsible
It is the responsibility of each director to ensure that his or her company is not in breach of the Companies Acts.
