Registry non-compliance / strike-off (annual fee unpaid or filings missing) - Failure to pay the annual government fee (or late-payment penalty), or failure to have a registered agent, or failure to file required returns/documents (BC Act s.213).
Pay outstanding fees and penalties and regularise filings; a struck-off company cannot lawfully trade or deal with its assets (s.215) and, if it remains struck off, may be dissolved. Restoration is available (administratively within limits, or by court) on payment of the restoration fee and all arrears (ss.217-218). NOTE: the old automatic 7-year strike-off-to-dissolution grace was shortened by the 2022 amendment (in force 2023) - a struck-off company is now dissolved much sooner, so respond promptly.
Annual financial return non-filing notice - Company fails to file its annual financial return with the registered agent within 9 months of financial year end.
File the overdue return; the registered agent must notify the Registrar within 30 days of the due date, and the company faces a fine up to a maximum aggregate of USD 5,000 and possible strike-off. (not verified against the authority's own page)
Economic substance / ITA enquiry or determination - Failure to file an ES report, or an ITA determination that a relevant entity has not met the economic-substance requirements for a relevant activity.
Provide the required substance information / remediate; administrative penalties escalate and, for serious/continued non-compliance, the ITA can recommend strike-off and fines and (in serious cases) imprisonment up to 5 years apply. (not verified against the authority's own page)
Trade-mark examination objection / opposition - Objection on examination, or third-party opposition to a published mark under the Trade Marks Act 2013.
Respond through the registered trade mark agent within the period set by the Registrar / Trade Marks Act 2013. (not verified against the authority's own page)
