Ontario Annual Return

The Ontario Annual Return is a required filing for all corporations. It ensures updated corporate details are on record with the province, regardless of any changes since the previous submission.

It must be submitted within six months of the corporation's fiscal year end. This deadline is typically set by the directors or the corporate tax specialist.

For instance, if the fiscal year concludes on March 31, the Annual Return is due by September 30 of the same year. Remember, the due date isn't linked to the date of incorporation. If uncertain about the year-end date, Revenue Canada Agency can assist if they have it on record.

No, the process has changed. Historically, you filed the annual return information with the T2 corporation income tax return. Now, the filing is directly submitted to the province, separate from tax return filings.

Is the Annual Return Filing Mandatory?
Yes, to maintain compliance with the province of Ontario, you must file the Annual Return and if the annual return is not completed, the province can cancel the corporation for non-compliance. It is important to keep the records with the government up to date and accurate for a corporation.
