New CAC Rules: Pay ₦150 Daily for Late Annual Returns Filing
Important Announcement for Small Business Owners in Nigeria
Are you a small business owner struggling to file your annual returns on time? If yes, then this news is for you. The Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) has made major changes to the default fee rules for late annual returns filing.
Previous Default Fee
In the past, if you missed the July 1st deadline for annual returns filing, CAC charged a flat ₦5,000 default fee for the entire year.
New Daily Default Fee System
Under the new rules, there is no longer a single default fee for the year. Instead, CAC will charge ₦150 per day from July 2nd until you file your annual returns.
For example, if you file 182 days late, the total default fee adds up to ₦27,300 (182 days x ₦150 daily fee).
How Much Will You Pay if Annual Returns Are Not Filed?
To calculate your potential default fee:
- Number of days late x ₦150 daily fee = Your total default fee payment
The longer you delay annual returns filing, the higher the compounding default fees become. Miss the deadline and it could really cost you!
