Many people have the impression that the submission of FS and the filing of Annual Return are 2 different filings. In fact, they are not. These papers are sent together if you fall into the category of businesses that must submit the FS. Companies that have no more than 20 shareholders and are not partially owned by businesses are exempt from sending the financial statements to ACRA. If you have corporate shareholders, you must submit the financial statements. Insolvent companies are obliged to do so, too.
