What are the statutory deadlines for companies in Singapore and Hong Kong?
The general rules for a private company limited by shares. An extension, a waiver or a longer first financial year moves the date.
Singapore private company
| Obligation | When it is due | Applies to | Fee or late consequence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Estimated Chargeable Income (ECI) | Within 3 months after the financial year end (FYE). | Every company, unless annual revenue is S$5 million or below and the ECI is nil (both conditions, self-assessed). | No government fee |
| Annual general meeting (AGM) | Within 6 months after the FYE. | Every private company, unless it sends its financial statements to all members within 5 months after the FYE, or all members have passed a resolution to dispense with AGMs. | No government fee |
| Annual return to ACRA, with financial statements in XBRL | Within 7 months after the FYE. | Every company. Solvent exempt private companies need not file financial statements; smaller companies (revenue and total assets both S$500,000 or less) file simplified XBRL. | ACRA fee S$60. Late: S$300 up to 3 months after the due date, S$600 after that. 2,3 |
| Corporate income tax return (Form C-S, C-S (Lite) or C) | By 30 November of the year of assessment, which is the year after the financial year ends. | Every company, including dormant and loss-making ones, unless IRAS has granted a waiver. | No government fee |
| GST return (F5) | Each quarter, filed and paid within one month after the end of the accounting period. | GST-registered companies only. | Late: S$200 at once, then S$200 for each completed month, up to S$10,000 per return. 9 |

| Audit of the financial statements | Each year, before the financial statements are laid at the AGM or sent to members. | Not needed for a small company: a private company meeting 2 of 3 criteria (revenue S$10 million or less, total assets S$10 million or less, 50 employees or fewer) for the past two financial years. In a group, the whole group must also meet them on a consolidated basis. | No government fee |
Hong Kong private company
| Obligation | When it is due | Applies to | Fee or late consequence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Annual return (Form NAR1) | Within 42 days after each anniversary of the incorporation date. | Every local private company with a share capital. The Registrar cannot extend the time limit. | Fee HK$105. Late: HK$870, rising to HK$3,480 more than 9 months late, and the company and its officers can be prosecuted. 12 |
| Business Registration renewal | Pay the renewal demand note by the expiry date on the current certificate. For a one-year certificate that starts on the incorporation date, that is the day before each anniversary. | Every company.

| Significant Controllers Register | Kept at the registered office or a place in Hong Kong, with every change entered within 7 days. | Every company. | No government fee |
How we count the dates
- A financial year ends on the last day of the month. “Within 6 months after the FYE” means by the last day of the sixth month, so a 31 December FYE gives an AGM by 30 June.
- We take the first financial year to end at the first FYE after incorporation. A longer first year, up to 18 months, moves the first set of dates.
- Singapore GST quarters are taken to end with your FYE. IRAS sets your actual periods when you register.
- Hong Kong tax returns are counted from the first working day of April, after weekends and the Easter holidays. Treat those dates as estimates until the IRD issues the return.
- The calendar runs from today to the end of the twelfth month. Overdue filings are not listed, so check past years separately.
Running compliance across several entities
A calendar works when someone answers for it. We will run ongoing management this way once Innaltis opens.
-
One owner per entity
Name one person who answers for each company’s calendar, even when the filings are outsourced. That person signs off when a date is closed.
-
One calendar for the group
Keep every entity’s dates in one list, sorted by due date. The CSV from the planner can be that list.
-
A reminder 30 days before
Thirty days leaves time to collect bank statements, chase the auditor and get signatures from directors abroad. The calendar file sets the reminder.
-
A document trail
File each signed resolution, return and receipt against the deadline it closed. Next year’s work and any investor’s due diligence start from that file.
-
Know who signs
For each filing, write down who signs (a director, the secretary or the auditor) and whether they can sign remotely. Late filings usually come down to a missing signature.
What ongoing compliance will cost
Once we open, each deadline in your calendar falls under a yearly package, priced per company.

Before you move anything
A 30-minute call to understand your owners, activity and timeline, and to tell you whether a structuring consultation is worth your time. No commitment. To decide which entities to keep, merge or close, book the structuring consultation: 2 hours with our founders, remote, S$880, fixed. Written summary included.
The same obligations, explained for a new company
Who you will work with
Innaltis is run by its founders, who come from corporate consulting and business law. You deal with them directly, from the first call to the written summary. Structuring questions are part of the job, never a surprise invoice. Regulated filings are executed by licensed firms we appoint and supervise, each named in your engagement letter. We introduce the team by name at launch.
How we work
-
Scope
A 30-minute call on your owners, activity, target market and timeline. We then agree the agenda and the price in writing.
-
Structure
We write up the structure: entities, ownership, directors, substance and the questions that need a specialist tax or legal opinion.
-
Set up
Once we open: incorporation, company secretary, registered address and resident director where required, executed by licensed firms we appoint and supervise.
-
Run
Bookkeeping, accounts, tax, annual return and meetings tracked in Atlas and reviewed by people, with a reminder before every deadline.
Who should own this calendar?
Answer four questions about your group. We reply within one business day with what we would change, and keep you posted on ongoing management and Atlas.
Incorporation and ongoing compliance open in Q1 2027. Registering now reserves your founding-client terms. Nothing is filed and nothing is charged before then.
Questions from finance teams
Are the dates legally binding?
No. The planner applies the general rules of ACRA, IRAS, the Companies Registry and the IRD to the dates you enter. An extension, a longer first financial year, a tax return issued on another day or a block extension through your tax representative will move a date. Confirm each date with the authority or your company secretary before you rely on it.
What if my financial year end is not 31 December?
Choose the FYE month for each entity and every date moves with it. A Singapore company with a 30 June FYE has its ECI due by 30 September, its AGM by 31 December, its annual return by 31 January and its Form C-S by 30 November of the following year. A Hong Kong company with a 31 March FYE holds its AGM by 31 December, and its profits tax return falls under the “M” code if a tax representative files it.
Does it cover other countries?
Singapore and Hong Kong only, the two places where Innaltis will operate. If your group also has a parent in France or a subsidiary in Vietnam, add those rows to the CSV by hand. The columns work for any country. Mention the other countries in the form and we will take them into account.
Where is my data stored?
Nowhere. The planner runs in your browser, and your entities are gone when you reload. Nothing reaches us when you build or download a plan. If you send the form, we receive the number of entities, their jurisdictions and FYE months, and the number of deadlines. We never receive the company names.
What is Atlas?
Atlas by Innaltis is the client platform we are building: a group view of every entity, deadline tracking for each company, and the resolutions, registers and filings in one document library. It is planned for Q1 2027 and is not available today. The compliance planner is separate, free and available now.
Can Innaltis take over our compliance?
Not yet. Ongoing compliance in Singapore and Hong Kong is a planned service that opens in Q1 2027, and nothing is filed for you before then. Register your interest and we will contact you before launch. When an existing company moves to us there is no incorporation fee, and taking over the records from your previous secretary is included.
What penalties apply for a late annual return?
In Singapore, ACRA charges S$300 when the annual return is filed up to 3 months after the due date and S$600 after that. In Hong Kong, the HK$105 fee for Form NAR1 becomes HK$870 after the 42 days, then HK$1,740, HK$2,610 and HK$3,480 more than 9 months late. In both places the company and its officers can also face prosecution.
Can I share the plan with my accountant?
Yes. The CSV opens in Excel, Google Sheets or Numbers, with empty Owner and Status columns for you to fill in. The .ics file imports into Google Calendar, Outlook or Apple Calendar, and each deadline comes with a reminder 30 days before. You send the files yourself, and we never see them.
