What is Canada INC Annual Return?
A Canada INC Annual Return is a legally required corporate filing that updates your corporation’s basic information with the federal or provincial government. This filing is not a tax return — it is a compliance report that helps maintain your business’s active legal status. Failing to file your annual return on time could result in penalties or even dissolution of your corporation.

Order NowWho Must File an Annual Return?
Whether your corporation is new or has been running for years, the law in Canada requires you to file an Annual Return every year. This is separate from your tax return. It is used by regulators to ensure your business continues to exist legally and accurately within the public registry. It applies to both active and inactive companies and must be filed even if there’s no financial activity.
Federal Corporations
All corporations formed under the federal jurisdiction of Corporations Canada must file their Annual Return within 60 days of the incorporation anniversary. It keeps your company compliant with the Canada Business Corporations Act. This is not based on taxes or revenue — even companies that are not trading must file.
Provincial Corporations
If your business is registered in a province (like Ontario or British Columbia), the province has its own corporate laws that require an Annual Return. These returns are submitted to the provincial government. Deadlines, fees, and filing methods vary slightly but are just as legally mandatory as federal ones.
All Corporation Types
Whether your company is a holding corporation, inactive, dormant, or has not begun operations, the Annual Return must still be filed. Skipping this obligation can result in administrative dissolution, which may impact your banking, liability protection, and government registrations.
