B1 Annual Return Deadlines

B1 Annual Returns must be submitted online within 56 days of the ARD. Where financial statements are being submitted, they need to be uploaded before the Signature Pages are generated and submitted. Scanned signature pages are now accepted by the CRO.

It is extremely important not to submit returns late otherwise the company will be subject to audits for the following two years. Audits are very costly and take up the time of Directors.
