The Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) has announced an extension of the deadline for filing annual returns, pushing the penalty commencement date from January 1, 2024, to April 1, 2024. The decision was made in response to glitches on the Company Registration Portal (CRP) and appeals from the Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprise (MSME) sector.

Entities are encouraged to use this additional time to file their annual returns with the commission. However, it’s essential to note that the extension does not impact striking-off proceedings initiated by the commission before the November 2 notice. Companies, directors, and officers are reminded that the commission will proceed against those associated with struck-off companies to recover outstanding penalties.

This report is developing, more details will be shared on the SkiwordNews Telegram Channel as soon as possible.
