Why Annual Return is essential for Singapore businesses

Annual Return (AR) reflects your company’s financial health and status.

Filing is mandatory for all Singapore-incorporated companies within 7 months after FYE.

Updated company type, status, and AGM details are necessary.

XBRL format of financial statements and Directors’ names must be uploaded (unless exempt).

Three simple steps to your annual return

Step 01

1. Share your details

Upload your financial statements and company particulars to your secure Sleek dashboard. If you are already on SleekBooks or Xero, most of what we need is already there.

Step 02

2. We prepare and review

Your dedicated corporate secretary prepares your AGM documents, drafts the resolutions, and formats your financial statements for XBRL, then walks you through the full annual return process with ACRA and anything that needs a decision.

Step 03

3. You approve, we file

You sign off in the dashboard, we lodge the annual return directly with ACRA, and your compliance record updates. You get a confirmation, not another task.

Frequently asked questions about annual return filing in Singapore

When must my Singapore company file its annual return?

Within seven months of your financial year-end. The exact date depends on your FYE and on when your shareholders approve the financial statements, so it moves company to company. On a Sleek plan, we track your date and file ahead of it.

How much does annual return filing cost with Sleek?

Filing is included in the corporate secretary service, which starts from S$350 per year for single-shareholder companies. That fee already includes the S$60 ACRA government charge, so there is nothing to pay on top for the lodgement itself.

Do I need to hold an AGM before filing my annual return?

Most companies do, though some qualify for an exemption. Your secretary confirms whether an AGM is required, prepares the documents if so, and files the annual return within the required window afterwards. You can check the criteria in our guide on AGM exemption.

What happens if I miss the annual return deadline?

ACRA imposes late lodgement penalties that escalate over time, and repeated failures can lead to a company strike-off and director disqualification under Section 155 of the Companies Act. If you are already overdue, we can help you back-file and get compliant again.

Do I have to file financial statements in XBRL?

Most Singapore companies file their financial statements in XBRL unless they are exempt, and the format (full or simplified) depends on your revenue. Your secretary prepares the correct XBRL template, so ACRA accepts it the first time.

Can I switch my corporate secretary to Sleek mid-year?

Yes. We draft the resignation and appointment resolutions, file the change with ACRA, and bring your existing registers across, then pick up your next annual return on schedule.

Is annual return filing different from filing my company's tax return?

Yes. The annual return is a corporate filing lodged with ACRA, separate from your ECI and corporate income tax filed with IRAS. Sleek can handle both, so your ACRA and IRAS obligations stay aligned.
