How To File Your CIPC Annual Return in less than 5 Minutes → Directly in Fintura

File CIPC Annual Returns without leaving Fintura. This guide walks you through BO, iXBRL or FAS and turnover capture. Fintura auto-calculates CIPC and late fees, charges your card on file, then lodges with CIPC and emails your confirmation. Most teams complete both BO and the Annual Return in less than five minutes with Fintura.

1. 1

   Open the Annual Return task

   Open the company’s Annual Return task. You’ll see the company name at the top and a three‑year view with Turnover, CIPC Fees, Late Fees, and the Total calculated by Fintura.

   Beneficial Ownership check

   When the modal opens, Fintura asks: “Has your Ultimate Beneficial Ownership filing been done with CIPC?”

   • If No: A Beneficial Ownership pop‑up opens. Answer the guided questions and complete the submission. When finished, return to the Annual Return modal.
   • If Yes: A quick capture opens to record Date Filed, Reference Number, and to upload the BO certificate for your records. Save to return to the Annual Return flow.

   Financial statements — audited or not?

   Fintura asks “Have your financial statements been Audited?”

   • If No: Complete the FAS Declaration. Provide the responsible person(s) for day‑to‑day transactions and for compiling financial records, then answer the short compliance questions.
   • If Yes: Complete the iXBRL Filing section. Indicate whether the financials were Audited or Independently Reviewed, add any comments, then upload the iXBRL instance and optional supporting documents.
