Understanding PACRA Annual Returns

By Admin BizForge 17 April 2026 5 views

Every registered company in Zambia must file annual returns with PACRA. Here is what you need to know:

What Are Annual Returns?

Annual returns are a yearly filing that confirms your company details are up to date with PACRA.

When Are They Due?

Annual returns must be filed within 90 days of your company anniversary date (the date on your certificate).

What Happens If You Miss the Deadline?

Late filing attracts penalties. If you fail to file for two consecutive years, PACRA may deregister your company.

How to File

You can file online through the PACRA portal or visit their offices. The fee is approximately K200.
