If your company has missed its B1 Annual Return deadline with the Companies Registration Office (CRO), you may be feeling overwhelmed. The penalties are real — late filing charges, loss of audit exemption, and ultimately the risk of being struck off the register entirely.
But there is a solution: a Section 343 District Court Application.
What Does Section 343 Allow?
Section 343 of the Companies Act 2014 allows a company to apply to the District Court for an order extending the time permitted to file overdue annual returns. When granted, this order:
- Restores the company's right to file its overdue returns
- Reinstates audit exemption (where eligible)
- Cancels outstanding late filing fees
Who Can Apply?
Any Irish limited company that has missed its annual return deadline can apply under Section 343, provided certain conditions are met. Our team assesses each case individually.
