Schedule 546 Form PDF Details

Navigating the intricacies of corporate compliance requires attention to detail, especially when it comes to fulfilling annual reporting obligations. Among the essential documents for Ontario corporations is the Schedule 546, a form that caters specifically to corporations incorporated, amalgamated, or continued under the Ontario Business Corporations Act (BCA) or the Ontario Corporations Act (CA), with a notable exception being registered charities under the federal Income Tax Act. This form plays a crucial role in the Corporations Information Act Annual Return, demanding meticulous completion of parts 1 to 4, and parts 5 to 7 if there are changes to be reported in the corporation's information as recorded on the public record of the Ontario Ministry of Government Services (MGS). The form is not merely a bureaucratic requirement but a critical tool to ensure that the MGS holds accurate, up-to-date information about the corporation. It encompasses not just tax but also non-tax information, from basic identification details and the head or registered office address to any changes in the information related to directors and senior officers, highlighting its role beyond fiscal compliance. Furthermore, it mandates delivery within six months following the corporation's tax year-end, underscoring the importance of timeliness in its submission, which is considered delivered when filed with the Canada Revenue Agency alongside the corporation's income tax return. The consequences of inaccuracies, whether by omission or false statements, are not taken lightly, pointing to the Schedule 546's significance in maintaining the integrity of Ontario's corporate records.

This schedule should be completed by a corporation that is incorporated, continued, or amalgamated in Ontario and subject to the Ontario Business Corporations Act (BCA) or Ontario Corporations Act (CA), except for registered charities under the federal Income Tax Act. This completed schedule serves as a Corporations Information Act Annual Return under the Ontario Corporations Information Act.

Complete parts 1 to 4. Complete parts 5 to 7 only to report change(s) in the information recorded on the Ontario Ministry of Government Services (MGS) public record.

This schedule must set out the required information for the corporation as of the date of delivery of this schedule.

A completed Ontario Corporations Information Act Annual Return must be delivered within six months after the end of the corporation's tax year-end. The MGS considers this return to be delivered on the date that it is filed with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) together with the corporation's income tax return.

It is the corporation's responsibility to ensure that the information shown on the MGS public record is accurate and up-to-date. To review the information shown for the corporation on the public record maintained by the MGS, obtain a Corporation Profile Report. Visit www.ServiceOntario.ca for more information.

This schedule contains non-tax information collected under the authority of the Ontario Corporations Information Act. This information will be sent to the MGS for the purposes of recording the information on the public record maintained by the MGS.
