ACRA Annual Return Extension Request Form

Filing your ACRA annual return on time is crucial for Singapore companies, but sometimes circumstances beyond your control require an extension. Whether you're facing auditor delays, accounting complications, or other valid reasons, our ACRA Annual Return Extension Request Form makes it simple to submit a professional, comprehensive extension request to the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority.

This form template is designed specifically for Singapore-based businesses—from SMEs to larger enterprises—navigating the ACRA filing process. It captures all essential information including your company details, UEN, current filing deadline, and a clear justification for the extension request. You can explain auditor delays, provide context around financial year complexities, and propose a realistic new submission date that demonstrates your commitment to compliance.

Paperform's doc-style editor lets you customise this template to match your company's tone and branding, while conditional logic ensures you only ask for relevant information based on the reason for delay. Submissions are automatically timestamped and can be exported as PDFs for your records or forwarded directly to your corporate secretary or ACRA liaison.

For accounting firms and corporate services providers managing multiple clients, this form can be easily replicated across your portfolio. Use Stepper (stepper.io) to automate follow-up workflows—notify your team when a request is submitted, set reminders for the proposed deadline, and track extension approvals across all your client companies. You can also integrate with tools like Google Sheets, Airtable, or your CRM to maintain a central register of all extension requests and their status.

Singapore's regulatory environment demands accuracy and professionalism. This form helps you meet those standards while saving time on administrative tasks, so you can focus on keeping your business compliant and moving forward.
