The Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) is taking steps to clean up its register by removing companies that aren’t complying with the law. According to a public notice, these companies have 90 days to file their Annual Returns and update their details on Persons with Significant Control or Beneficial Ownership. If they don’t comply, they’ll be permanently removed from the register and can’t do business anymore.
The list of companies to be removed is already on the CAC website, and the public and company owners are advised to check it out and take necessary actions. This move is in line with the Companies and Allied Matters Act 2020, specifically Section 692 (3) and (4).
Companies that get struck off will lose their rights and can’t operate.
