ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT B1 RETURN

What is B1 Annual Return?

Annual Return B1 is an electronic document setting out certain prescribed company information which is required to be delivered by an Irish company, whether trading or not, to the CRO (Companies Registration Office).

When to file B1 Annual Return?

Each company has an Annual Return Date allocated to it by CRO and it can be checked using the CRO Company Search facility. Annual Return Date (ARD) of a company is the latest date to which an annual return must be made up. The annual return must be filed with the CRO within 56 days of the Annual Return Date (ARD). 

 

Penalties for late Annual returns

Returns which are filed late with the CRO incur a substantial Late Filing fee.
If a company requires extra time to file its return, application may be made to the District Court or the High Court by a company, on notice to the CRO, for an order extending the time for filing of a particular annual return. If granted, this allows the company extra time to file that return before the late filing fee is incurred.

How to submit the Annual return?

An annual return must be completed online and presenters can use CRO CORE platform. The payment for B1 must be made by customer account or debit/credit card.

You have 56 days from your Annual Return Date to file your annual return (B1) online and to have your signature page received in the CRO.

Who needs to sign the Annual return?

Form B1 – the annual return requires the signatures of both the director and the secretary.

A single director company cannot satisfy CRO requirements by the signature of the sole director in a dual capacity as both director and secretary. Two different people have to sign off on the form.

Equally companies with two directors signing off on the form B1: the one individual as director cannot sign the same form as both secretary and director. The second director is required to sign as well.
