How are annual returns and financial statements lodged now?
Annual returns and financial statements are separate statutory filings. SSM continues to use MBRS 2.0 for these submissions, as confirmed by its September 2026 filing notice. Your company secretary should use the current SSM filing instructions and check any applicable relief; a temporary late-fee waiver does not remove the obligation to file.

Prepare the annual return separately from the financial statements and confirm the applicable format and submission requirements with your secretary. Do not assume MBRS was retired when CRS was introduced.
