Why it matters

Missed annual returns quietly compound.

A late filing in one province is annoying; missed filings across multiple entities for multiple years is how corporations get dissolved, struck from the register, and disqualified during diligence. Octelligence tracks every entity’s deadlines in one place and surfaces what’s due next.

Common questions

Government registries: Corporations Canada, the provincial business registries (Ontario, BC, Alberta, Quebec, etc.), the Delaware Division of Corporations, the California Secretary of State, and equivalents. We update the dataset quarterly. Always confirm fees and deadlines on the official registry site before filing — rates change, and registries occasionally restructure their fee schedules.

It’s accurate for the standard case: a corporation incorporated on the date you entered, with no extraordinary anniversary or fiscal-year-end overrides. Some jurisdictions (notably Quebec and Florida) tie the deadline to a fixed annual date rather than the anniversary. The tool shows the rule for each jurisdiction; if your corporation has an unusual filing schedule, treat the calculated date as a guide and confirm with your registry.

The numbers shown are for standard for-profit corporations under the headline statute (e.g., CBCA, OBCA, DGCL). Not-for-profits, co-ops, and extra-provincial registrations have separate filing regimes with their own fees and deadlines. We’ll add those in a future revision.

Each jurisdiction has its own enforcement cascade. The common pattern: a late fee within a grace period, then a notice of dissolution if filings stay overdue for one to three years, then administrative dissolution and removal from the corporate register. Revival is possible but expensive, and any contracts signed by an administratively dissolved corporation are vulnerable. We summarize the late-fee mechanic in the tool; the dissolution timeline varies by jurisdiction.

Not in this tool — it’s a lookup, not a tracker. Octelligence tracks annual filing deadlines for every entity in your portfolio and alerts you in advance. That’s the next step up from a spreadsheet.
