In order to keep your corporation active, you must complete an annual return each year and file your return by the last day of the month following the anniversary of the registration month.
For example: If your corporation was registered in September, you should file your return by October 31. You should receive an Annual Return form in the mail from Alberta’s Corporate Registries. If you don’t receive your annual return form in the mail, be sure to come visit us right away. It could be that your address is not up to date – we can update this at the same time that we do your annual return.
Your corporation may be dissolved if it fails to file its annual returns. The Alberta Corporate Registry Office have an obligation to make sure that corporate information is up to date. If your corporation is not filing its annual returns, they will assume that it is not operating and they will take steps to dissolve it (that is legally end its existence). Dissolution can have serious repercussions, including not having the legal capacity to conduct business.
