Filing an annual return is a legal requirement for all Alberta corporations, separate from your Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) tax filings. Failing to file your annual return can result in your corporation being dissolved, putting your business at risk.
At Sharp Steward, we make the annual return filing process simple, accurate, and hassle-free, ensuring your corporation remains compliant and active.
An annual return is a mandatory filing that updates your corporation’s records with the Alberta Corporate Registry. This process ensures your company’s information is up to date and remains legally recognized.
✔ It is NOT a tax return – Filing with CRA is a separate process.
✔ It is a corporate obligation – Required annually to maintain your business status.
✔ Failure to file may lead to dissolution – Risk losing your corporation’s legal standing.
