When is a company annual return due in Trinidad and Tobago?

The Companies Registry states that a company must file its annual return within 30 days of the anniversary of incorporation, continuance or amalgamation.

What is the filing fee?

The current annual-return filing fee listed by the Registry is TT$40.

What happens if the annual return is late?

The Registry states that the late penalty is TT$300 for every month or part of a month that the annual return remains late.

Why this matters when choosing a structure

Company registration is not the end of the administration. A company should have a filing calendar from the beginning so recurring statutory obligations are not forgotten.
