Annual Return

An annual return is a snapshot of general information about a company’s directors, secretary (where one has been appointed), registered office address, shareholders and share capital.
Important: The Annual Return is not to be confused with Annual Accounts. Annual Accounts are financial accounts, profit & loss etc. Both, however, are legally required to be filed to SSM Malaysia on an annual basis.
