If you have a Limited Liability Company, you are required by law to file an Annual Return form yearly.

What is Annual Return of a Company?

Annual returns are periodic filings that Limited Liability Companies submit to the Companies Registry to confirm or update the Company's essential information. These filings aim to ensure that the government's record of the Company remains current and accurate.

Annual returns typically include:

  • Company Information: Name, address, and contact details of the company.
  • Information about Directors and Members: Names, addresses, and contact details of directors, company secretaries, members.
  • Shareholder Information: A summary of the shares issued and the details of shareholders.
  • Information about the Company's Debts: Details about the Company's Debts, Liabilities, Loans etc.

Annual returns do not contain financial information, like income or expenses—that’s generally reserved for financial statements or tax filings. Instead, they focus on organizational details. Filing these returns is mandatory, and failure to comply can result in penalties, loss of good standing, or even the striking off of the company.

How to File Annual Returns Online (Trinidad & Tobago)?

To file annual returns online, all directors, secretaries, and the company must have a Companies Registry Online System (CROS) account. You must create a Companies Registry Account (CRA) to access the system. Once logged in, you can complete and submit the Annual Return and the required fee and then deliver the signed Annual Return to the Registry.

What Information is Required to File for Annual Returns?

To file for annual returns, you will need to provide the company's name, address, and contact details; the names, addresses, and contact information of directors, company secretaries, and members; a summary of the shares issued along with shareholder details; and information about the company's debts, liabilities, and loans.

Are there any Associated Fees with Filing Annual Returns?

Yes, to have MyBiz prepare and file your Annual Return forms, the fee is currently $506 per company per year.

When is the Deadline to File Annual Returns?

To avoid late filing penalties an Annual Return must be filed within 30 days of the Company's Anniversary date of Incorporation.

What are the Penalties for Filing Annual Returns Late?

If an individual or company does not submit their Annual Return on time, the Registrar of Companies may impose a penalty of three hundred TT dollars ($300.00 TTD) for each month, or any portion of a month, that the filing is overdue and possibly face having their company struck off the register.

Amnesty for Annual Returns (Trinidad)

The Attorney General may periodically announce an amnesty on penalties for late filing of annual returns. During an amnesty period, companies can submit all outstanding annual returns without incurring penalty fees; however, the standard filing fee for each annual return is still required.
