An annual return is a document that must be filed with the Companies Registry in Hong Kong by all locally incorporated private companies and registered non-Hong Kong companies. It is a requirement under the Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622).
The annual return must be filed within 42 days after the anniversary of the date of incorporation or registration of the company. For example, if a company was incorporated on 1st January 2023, the annual return for the year 2023 must be filed by 28th February 2024.
The annual return contains information about the company, such as its name, registered office address, directors, shareholders, and secretary. It also contains information about the company's financial performance for the year.
The annual return can be filed online or by post. The filing fee is HK$105 for a local private company and HK$180 for a registered non-Hong Kong company.
If a company fails to file its annual return within the prescribed time period, it is a criminal offence. The company may be fined up to HK$50,000.
