Annual Compliance in Canada
The corporate-law annual pack, which is separate from the CRA tax return. Individuals-with-significant-control information is filed at the same time each year and within 15 days of any change. Failure to file the annual return or the ISC information exposes the corporation to administrative dissolution, with revival available on application.
