File: annual return for a Yukon corporation

A corporation has to meet the requirements of subsection 267(1) of the Business Corporations Act. This means submitting its annual return by the last day of the month after its incorporation anniversary.

For example, the incorporation anniversary is June 1, so the corporation must file its return by July 31 that year.

When it’s time to prepare your annual return, download and complete Form 25 ‒ Annual return of Yukon corporation.

How to fill out the form

The information you provide on the form must be legible. Also make sure to complete each section.
