CAC postpones new fees, penalties enforcement
The Corporate Affairs Commission has announced the postponement of the implementation of new fees and penalties for document downloads on its upgraded registration portal to September 1.
The CAC, in a public notice released on Monday in Abuja, stated that the decision to delay the rollout was made due to transitional challenges being experienced by users on the portal.
The enforcement, initially scheduled to commence on August 1, affects charges for documents not downloaded within seven days of approval.
The commission listed some problems encountered by users, including difficulties with downloading documents, payment processing, post-incorporation filings for business names, and uploading of certain required documents.
“We are working tirelessly, alongside our technical partners and stakeholders, to stabilise the system without shutting down the entire portal,” the commission said.
According to CAC, the shift in date is a temporary relief aimed at supporting businesses and ensuring a seamless user experience during the transition to its Artificial Intelligence-powered platform.
The commission stated that the adjustment was also in response to feedback received from customers and stakeholders nationwide.
“We appreciate your patience and understanding,” it stated.
The CAC inaugurated the new digital portal on June 30 to improve service delivery and reduce the turnaround time for business registration processes.
