The Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA) has published a summary detailing the resolution of significant technical issues impacting the filing of Annual Returns via its BizFile+ platform. These fixes address widespread user frustrations encountered during the recent filing season, aiming to streamline the process for Singapore businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key resolved issues include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Access & Authentication: The persistent “Access denied” error post-login has been rectified. ACRA confirms that Corppass credentials are mandatory for corporate filings, and users experiencing this error must utilize Corppass instead of Singpass.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Entity Information Accuracy: Problems causing missing or incorrect data on the critical “Review Entity Information” page have been fixed. Affected users can now successfully amend and re-file their Annual Returns without encountering these display errors.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Submission Error Messages: Various error messages blocking submission have been resolved. ACRA advises filers to double-check the accuracy of email addresses for all position holders to prevent related submission failures.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Dormant Company Filings: Dormant companies faced difficulties with mandatory fields. The system is now updated, allowing these entities to file Annual Returns without needing to populate specific, previously problematic fields.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Resigned Director Selection: A system limitation preventing users from selecting resigned directors has been eliminated. Filers can now accurately reflect director resignations within their submissions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Audit Information Fields: Missing fields within the “Audit Information” section, which hindered progress, have been restored, enabling users to complete this section without obstruction.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    “These resolutions target critical pain points identified during the peak filing period,” <\/em>ACRA stated in its summary. The updates focus on enhancing system stability, data integrity, and user experience for mandatory corporate compliance filings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
