The Companies Ordinance requires local companies to deliver annual returns, subject to applicable exemptions. This guide focuses on local private companies.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To file an annual return, a local private company must complete <strong>Form NAR1<\/strong> and deliver it within 42 days after its incorporation anniversary. For a re-domiciled private company, the relevant anniversary is its re-domiciliation date.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you don\u2019t file within the prescribed period, a higher registration fee becomes payable. Preparing accurate records and tracking the deadline can help prevent unnecessary costs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That is why we put up this post to talk about everything you need to know about how to file annual returns in Hong Kong. Find out more about filing an annual return Hong Kong and why you should hire&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/premiatnc.com\/hk\/service\/company-secretarial-services-in-hong-kong\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">professional company secretarial services<\/a>&nbsp;to help you with the filing process.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 id=\"h-what-is-a-registered-office-address-in-hong-kong\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:25px\">What Is A Hong Kong Annual Return?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A Hong Kong annual return is a statutory filing that records a company\u2019s particulars on its return date, including its registered office, directors, company secretary and shareholders. Local companies use Form NAR1 to provide this information to the Companies Registry. It is separate from a company\u2019s tax return.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before diving straight into the mechanics of how to file annual returns in Hong Kong, let\u2019s first clear up a common misunderstanding: the annual return form has nothing to do with the company\u2019s taxes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The purpose of the annual return is to maintain company information on the register. Filing it does not, by itself, confirm compliance with every legal obligation or renew a business licence.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your company secretary can help prepare the return. It must be signed by a director or the company secretary, and the applicable annual registration fee must accompany it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:25px\">When Should The Annual Return Be Sent To The Registrar Of Companies To Be Registered?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A local private company must deliver Form NAR1 within 42 days after its incorporation anniversary, with an on-time registration fee of HK$105. For re-domiciled private companies, the deadline follows the re-domiciliation anniversary. The first annual return is generally required after the first anniversary, rather than in the incorporation or re-domiciliation year.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This 42-day period includes Sundays and public holidays.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the 42nd day falls on a Sunday or public holiday, the deadline moves to the following day that is neither a Sunday nor a public holiday. A Saturday that is not a public holiday does <strong>not<\/strong> extend the deadline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Registrar cannot extend the statutory filing period. Late delivery is a criminal offence and can result in prosecution as well as higher registration fees.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For private companies, the late registration fee can reach HK$3,480. These fees are prescribed by law; the Registrar cannot waive them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:25px\">Which Businesses Must File An Annual Return?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Local private companies, public companies and companies limited by guarantee have annual return obligations. Registered non-Hong Kong companies also have filing obligations under a separate regime. Their requirements should not be treated as identical.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A private company that formally becomes dormant under section 5 of the Companies Ordinance can qualify for an exemption. Simply having no income or business activity is insufficient. If dormancy takes effect after the 42nd day following the relevant anniversary, that year\u2019s return remains required.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:25px\">What Information Is In An Annual Return?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In an Annual Return, you should disclose the following information:<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Company name and identifying particulars.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Registered office address.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Return date.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Share capital and issued shares, where applicable.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Company secretary particulars.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Director particulars.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Member particulars and shareholdings, where applicable.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Location of company records, where required.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Business nature code and description, where applicable.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Complete the relevant fields and schedules using the current specified form.
