Did you know the Commission''s Refund Policy?

CAC Nigeria has a refund policy. There are some situation where a refund will be necessary e.g double payment deduction, a mistake of overpayment etc. This will demand the applicant apply for a refund. The process is as follows:

An application for refund stating clearly the reason for refund.

Such application must carry the name, telephone number, account number and an active email address, for ease of communication with the applicant/beneficiary.

Applicant must attach evidence of payment(s) made (i.e. Remita Retrieval Reference).

Where there are multiple payments in a transaction, all the receipts must be attached to the application.

Where the reason for refund is as a result of the applicant’s fault, a deduction of 5% administrative charge is applicable.

Where refund relates to Pre-incorporation and Post-incorporation applications, payments shall be made to the Payer and Principal respectively.

Application for refund shall be forwarded to the audit department email address.

1) It enables companies to process and access post-incorporation services from the CAC, e.g request Certified True Copies (CTC) of Incorporation documents, carry out increases in share capital, changes to business objects or registered addresses, and changes to directors, partners, or trustees. If annual returns are not filed on time and any applicable penalties have not been paid in full, CAC will not provide any post-incorporation services to any registered entity.

2. It is noteworthy that the majority of contractual bids in public or private sectors typically require the filing of an up-to-date yearly report as a major pre-requisite. for an entity to comply with this obligation. It must make sure its records are updated as when required.

3. It assists the company or entity in informing the Commission of its ongoing existence, which is why companies that are functional are called 'a going concern' and it also ensures that the name of the entity is kept on the register the commission maintains.

Every business, private limited company, and trustee organisation in Nigeria is required to file annual returns on a yearly basis. To do so, they must complete the prescribed form, submit it to the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC), and include the specified information about their organization as required by the Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA). Chapter 16 of the CAMA (2020) makes it a statutory prerequisite for every company in Nigeria to file annual returns every year.

Where the issued share capital is increased to meet the prescribed minimum issued share capital, filing fees and stamp duties should be paid on the increase through remita.net and stampduty.gov.ng respectively.

Foreign aids will only go for registered businesses because they seem more genuine, not a bogus whipped-out-of-thin-air business looking for funding. They want to help already established and struggling businesses. They are not trying to push money into something that still looks like a plan. A business that has not been registered looks more like a business plan than an actual business.

Just like aids, grants do not come with a payback option. You are not working to pay back that money, it is given to you free of charge to grow your business. This is why, more than anything, they want to make sure that they are giving it to an actual business, not one that is still in the works.

Submitting proof of registration immediately makes you eligible for the grants. It does not matter what the other criteria are and if you meet them, if you have not registered your business, you will not be considered and that’s that.
