As is the case with other government agencies during this sanitary crisis, the current context also affects your business’ obligations towards the Registraire des entreprises of Québec.

You will find below the REQ’s latest relief measures dealing with the deadline by which enterprises must pay the annual registration fee:

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Registraire des entreprises has adopted a relief measure extending the deadline by which enterprises must pay the annual registration fee for the current year.

This measure extends the deadline for paying the annual fee to September 1, 2020. It applies to all enterprises for which the end date for filing their annual updating declaration is between March 13, 2020, and August 31, 2020.

This measure goes hand in hand with relief measures announced by Revenu Québec, which also postpones to September 1, 2020, the deadline for paying income tax, contributions and the annual registration fee for the enterprise register related to the 2019 taxation year.

In addition, all enterprises covered by this measure that have already paid a late-filing penalty will be automatically reimbursed in the coming weeks.

The REQ has also made available a FAQ document offering additional details regarding this measure, you may consult this FAQ by clicking here.
