FAQs – Late Annual Return & Section 343 Support
1. What happens if I miss the Annual Return deadline?
You’ll face late fees, loss of audit exemption, and possible strike-off — but if you act fast, we can stop that through a court extension.
2. What is a Section 343 application?
It’s a legal request to the District Court to grant an extension to your missed CRO filing deadline. If granted, it cancels penalties and lets you file late returns without losing audit exemption.
3. What if my company is very late or has missed multiple returns?
We can still help — even if your company is months or years behind. The sooner you act, the better your outcome.
4. Will I lose my audit exemption if I file late?
Yes — unless you apply through Section 343 before filing the late return. Once you file late without court approval, exemption is lost.
5. Do I need to attend court?
No. We handle the full court process — you don’t need to appear.
6. How long does the process take?
On average, 3–4 weeks after we receive your signed documents. We keep you updated every step of the way.
7. What documents do I need to provide?
Just basic ID and company details. We take care of the legal side.
8. What if I don’t have accounts prepared yet?
No problem — we offer affordable Dormant or Trading Accounts preparation.
9. My bookkeeping is behind — can you help?
Yes. Our team provides bookkeeping catch-up to ensure compliance.
10. Can I use my own accountant’s financial statements?
Absolutely. We’re happy to work with your accountant’s prepared documents.
11. Will I still be fined?
If you don’t apply through Section 343, yes. But with a successful court application, CRO penalties are cancelled and audit exemption protected.
12. What if my company is about to be struck off?
Act now — we may still be able to stop it, but timing is critical.
13. Is this a subscription service?
No — this is a once-off fee. No subscriptions or hidden charges.
14. I’m dormant — do I still need financials?
Yes. Dormant companies must file financial statements after their first B1.
15. Can I get reminders for future deadlines?
Yes — we’ll add you to our free reminder system to avoid future issues.
16. Will this affect my bank or funding options?
Yes — missed filings damage your business’s credibility. Fixing it fast helps protect your reputation.
17. What if my registered office is in a different court district?
We’ll temporarily update your registered address to our Dublin office to match the court’s jurisdiction. Then we’ll switch it back after filing.
18. Why do you act as Company Secretary?
To streamline the court and CRO processes — this is a temporary appointment to ensure fast, compliant filing.
19. Can I get my audit exemption back?
Yes, if you haven’t already filed late. Once filed without the court order, audit exemption for that year is permanently lost.
20. What if I just pay the CRO fines instead?
You'll lose audit exemption and likely face audited accounts for multiple years — which is far more expensive than the court route.
21. How much does it cost if I’ve missed 3 returns?
Example (dormant company):
- €749.99 – Court Application
- €199.99 x 3 – Dormant Accounts = €599.97
Total: €1,349.96
That’s a €7,000+ saving compared to CRO penalties and audit fees.
22. Is there really a money-back guarantee?
Yes — if the court does not grant the extension, we refund you in full (unless there are extraordinary, undisclosed complications).
23. What if my company is struck off and I do nothing?
You’ll face:
- Frozen bank accounts
- Director prosecution
- High Court restoration (€3,000–€5,000+)
- Legal & CRO fees
Filing a Section 343 court extension before strike-off is the fastest and cheapest solution.
📌 Final Note
“You could pay €8,000+ in late penalties and audit fees — or €749.99 to fix it legally and retain your audit exemption. The sooner you act, the more we can do.”
