Create a B1B Form to Replace an Annual Return

With the B1B form, you can replace an annual return previously submitted to and registered with the Companies Registration Office (CRO) in Ireland.

If a previously registered annual return needs to be amended, for example, because of a misspelt name, a B1B form can be submitted to address the correction.

Note

A B1B form cannot be submitted for an annual return that was filed before 16 December 2020.

To create a B1B form:

  1. Go to the company record and select Data Library.

  2. Find and open the Annual Return Ireland (2020) data library record of the previously registered filing and select Edit.

  3. Find the Annual Return (Ireland) CRO2020 section and for the Type of Annual Return filed?, select the B1B Replacement Annual Return option.

    The page updates to display an additional B1 Replacement section above the B1 Attachments section.

  4. Enter the submission reference (SR) number of the previously registered annual return into the field in the B1 Replacement section.

  5. Make any required changes to the annual return.

  6. Select Save to save the changes, then Close to close the record.

  7. E-file the replacement form to the CRO.
