The vast majority of companies registered in Ireland have a financial year end of 31 December and as such will likely have an annual return date of 30 September. Historically this time of year has been the busiest for the Companies Registration Office (CRO), sometimes referred to as “annual compliance season”. If your company has an annual return date of 30 September 2024, the annual return and financial statements must be filed no later than 25 November 2024. But bear in mind corporation tax compliance deadlines also fall before the 23rd September 2025.
