First Annual return - Never traded

Namethis

Hi all,

A quick question.

I formed a company a while ago and due to funding issues we haven't begun trading as of yet.
The first AR is due at the end of Feb. I know I have to submit the form B1 and that the company is exempt from submitting audited accounts. Can anyone tell me exactly what I need to submit along with B1?
I'd rather not go back to the accountant if I could just submit the docs myself.

Thanks

Gloomtastic!

I don't know the answer but if don't get a response here then I suggest you speak to the Revenue direct. They're usually pretty helpful in situations like yours.

This is nothing to do with the Revenue - It's the Companies Registration Office Annual Return. If it's the first Annual Return, only the completed and signed B1 is required. Your 2nd and subsequent Annual Returns will also require a set of abridged accounts. Fore more have a look at this page:

You also need to make tax returns with the Revenue which is a separate matter, so you will need to discuss this with your Accountant or see www.revenue.ie. Hope this helps and good luck.

If you havent already done so you should consider filing a B73 to push the ARD back to the full 9 months. Check out your current ARD in this regard.

Thanks Kenny, I'll push that through!

I'm afraid you can't file a B73 with the first Annual Return or amend the first Annual Return Date (ARD) - You can only do this with the 2nd or subsequent Annual Returns

Yep. just to be clear, only do this for your second return. I should have considered my response in the context of your thread title. i meant this as a tip for the future.
