On 27 December 2024, the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (“ACRA”) issued a press release stating that ACRA is aware that some Bizfile users have encountered challenges with filing on the new Bizfile portal. ACRA informs that they are working on resolving the issues.
ACRA highlights the following important information:
- Further to ACRA’s notice on 21 December 2024, ACRA will continue to waive late filing penalties for those who face difficulties in their filing. ACRA had earlier stated that no late lodgement penalties will be imposed for filings made by 27 December 2024.
- ACRA assures Bizfile users who need to file a general lodgement (e.g. shares-related transactions) that the date of the transaction to be reflected in the Bizfile records will be the same as the date of the general lodgement.
- Bizfile users who need more information on how to file key transactions on the new Bizfile portal may refer to ACRA’s video tutorial guides here.
