CAC Annual Returns

Every registered business must file a yearly return with CAC, or it can be struck off. Done in 2 to 4 working days.

Your business

Registration number (RC, BN or IT)

Printed on your CAC certificate. RC for companies, BN for business names, IT for trustees. Example: RC 1234567.

Registered name

How many years do you need to file?

If you have missed earlier years, choose how many years in total. Not sure? Choose your best guess; we check your CAC record before you pay.

Roughly how much did the business make in the last year? (optional)

Financial statements for the year (companies) (optional)

Companies file their accounts with the return. Small companies can use a simple statement of affairs; if you do not have one, leave it and we will tell you what is needed. Business names and trustees do not need this.

Who is filing (director, secretary, proprietor or trustee)

Your full name

CAC needs the return certified by a director and the secretary for a company, the proprietor for a business name, or a trustee.

Your role

Phone number

Your government-issued ID

A clear photo or scan of your NIN slip, national ID card, international passport, driver's licence or voter's card.

Your signature

Sign inside the box

Use the same signature as on your ID.

Sign the way you sign on your ID. CAC places it on your registration documents.

Deadlines: business names by 30 June each year; companies within 42 days of their yearly meeting; incorporated trustees between 30 June and 31 December.
