Corporate affairs commission defer implementation of revised service fees

The Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) has announced the deferment of the implementation of revised fees for its services to Oct. 1.

The CAC announced on Saturday, August 30, that it will prioritize the full stabilization of its new company registration portal by mid-September 2025.

The commission said, “Consequently, and in order to deliver optimum value to its various stakeholders, the Commission has further deferred the implementation of the revised fees for its services. The new fees will now come into effect on 1st October, 2025.

“This decision reflects the Commission’s strong determination to ensure that the transition into the new regime of services is seamless, efficient, and beneficial to all.

“The Commission sincerely appreciates the patience, understanding and cooperation of our customers and other stakeholders during this critical phase of transformation.”

The management of the CAC has stated its commitment to creating an intelligent, customer-centric registry that adheres to global standards.

In June, the commission initially announced a review of service fees, with implementation scheduled for August 1.

However, on July 22, the CAC postponed the new fees and penalties for document downloads on its upgraded registration portal until September 1.
