B1 Annual Return Deadlines

Meeting the B1 Annual Return deadlines is crucial for maintaining your company's compliance in Ireland. All B1 Annual Returns must be submitted online within a 56-day window from the Annual Return Date (ARD). When filing Financial Statements along with the return, it’s essential to upload these documents prior to generating and submitting the Signature Pages. The CRO now accommodates scanned Signature Pages, adding flexibility to the submission process.
