How to set the annual return filing obligations in Connectworks
The filing obligation setting drives which companies will appear by default in your firm's Annual Returns Workflow. If companies you file for aren't appearing in your default workflow, it's because their filing obligation hasn't been set.
The filing obligation types you can record are:
-
Undetermined - The Company was imported into Connectworks, the obligation was not set during the import process
-
Not Registered Office - your firm has no filing obligations for the company. These companies will not show in the Annual Return Workflow.
-
Office filing only - your firm performs filings but does not act as the registered office.
-
Check filing only - your firm checks filings on behalf of the client but does not file them.
-
Registered office only - your firm acts as the Registered Office but does not perform filings. These companies will not show in the Annual Return Workflow.
-
Registered office check filing - your firm acts as the Registered Office, and checks filings on behalf of the client, but does not file.
-
Registered office and filing - your firm acts as the Registered Office and performs filing.
