An Annual Return is a yearly filing with ACRA to update your company’s key details — things like directors, shareholders, and your financial statements.
For most private limited companies:
You need to file it within 7 months from your financial year end (FYE).
If you hold an AGM, you must also file it within 14 days after the AGM.
If your company is exempted from holding AGMs, just file within 7 months from FYE.
⚠️ Missing the deadline means late penalties from ACRA, so it’s best not to leave it to the last minute.
