What to Deliver?
You should deliver in every year an annual return in the specified form (Form NN3) which contains the particulars of the company such as the office in the company’s place of incorporation, the principal place of business in Hong Kong, authorized representatives, directors, company secretary, etc. as at the made up date of the return.
Where section 789 of the Companies Ordinance applies, a certified true copy of the company’s latest published accounts for a period of at least 12 months that comply with the law of its place of incorporation, or the law of any other jurisdiction where the company is registered as a company, or the rules of any stock exchange or similar regulatory bodies in that jurisdiction is required to be delivered with the Form NN3.
When to Deliver?
A registered non-Hong Kong company must deliver an annual return to the Registrar of Companies for registration within 42 days after each anniversary of the date of registration of the company under the Companies Ordinance (the prescribed time period).
If you are not sure when your annual return is due for delivery, you may use the Annual Return Filing Calculator to calculate the due date.
Remember:

It is a criminal offence to fail to deliver the annual return within the prescribed time period. On default, the company, every responsible person and every agent of the company who authorizes or permits the contravention are liable to prosecution.
