- Companies that do not report get an individual warning, then 60 days to update their capital, change shareholding or dissolve. After that, penalties apply.
What the notice says
The Department of Enterprise Registration and Management reminds every company that it must pay in its registered capital and report it to the Enterprise Registrar, as required by Decision No. 2025/MOIC (in force since 23 Oct 2025) and Guidance Notice No. 1243/DERM.
Which date applies to you
- Registered before 23 Oct 2025: the deadline was 23 Oct 2026.
- Registered from 24 Oct 2025: one year from the date on your enterprise registration certificate.
If you missed it
The Registrar sends a warning to each company that has not reported. From the warning, the company has 60 days to do one of three things: report and update its capital, change its shareholding, or dissolve. Companies that do nothing after that face penalties under the Decision.
The Registrar has already started: Notice No. 178 lists 110 companies registered in October 2025.
What to do
- Find your registration date on the enterprise registration certificate.
- Check how much capital has been paid in, in cash and in kind, and get a bank letter on the company’s financial position.
- File the capital contribution form and documents with the Enterprise Registrar that registered you.
