The Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) has reissued a notice to dormant companies, giving them a 90-day grace to submit all outstanding annual returns or face delisting from its registry.
The threat was passed through a statement the commission released entitled: “NOTICE OF INTENTION TO STRIKE OFF COMPANIES FROM THE REGISTER”, with companies which failed to file annual returns for a period of 10 years the addressees.
In it, CAC said its position is in line with Section 692 (3) (4) of the Companies and Allied Matters Act No 3 of 2020.
“This is to inform the general public that the commission, under its powers contained in Section 692 (3) (4) of the Companies and Allied Matters Act No 3 of 2020, intends to strike off from the register names of defunct or dormant companies that have not filed annual returns for 10 years.
“These companies are given 90 days from the date of this publication to file all outstanding annual returns and send an email of this fact to the agency to remove their names from the list,” the statement read in part.
