We file with the Companies Registry, settle the HK$105 fee, and send you the filing confirmation.
An annual return is a statutory filing that confirms your company’s particulars to the Companies Registry: directors, shareholders, company secretary, registered office, and share capital as at the return date. It is filed on Form NAR1 under the Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622). It reports company structure, not financial performance.
A local private company must deliver its NAR1 within 42 days after the anniversary of its incorporation date. Sundays and public holidays count inside that window, and the Registrar cannot grant an extension. If the due date falls on a Saturday, the deadline remains that Saturday.
The government registration fee rises the later you file: HK$870, then HK$1,740, HK$2,610, and HK$3,480 once you are more than nine months late. Persistent non-filing can expose directors to prosecution and lead to strike-off.

No. Form NAR1 goes to the Companies Registry and updates company particulars. A profits tax return, usually Form BIR51 for corporations, goes to the Inland Revenue Department and reports the company’s tax position.

A company that has formally declared dormant status is generally exempt from delivering an annual return while it remains dormant. A company that is merely inactive must keep filing until dormancy is properly declared with the Companies Registry.
Sleek acts as your company secretary: we track the filing date, prepare Form NAR1 after you confirm the relevant details, submit it to the Companies Registry, and send you the filing confirmation.
