Enterprise Registrar Rule to confirm

Annual updating declaration with the Quebec Enterprise Registrar

Filed with the CO-17 where one is filed; otherwise separately with the REQ.

This rule could not be verified. The Revenu Québec, Enterprise Registrar and CNESST sites refuse automated access: the rule above reflects my understanding without having been checked against an official text. Confirm it with the Enterprise Registrar before relying on it.

Who it applies to

Every person or entity registered with the Quebec Enterprise Registrar. A corporation filing a CO-17 discharges it with that return; others file it separately.

Important qualification

The ONLY obligation escaping the “one line per confirmation” rule: it receives NO separate confirmation when filed with the CO-17. Enter it on the board only for entities that file it separately, otherwise you invent a task that does not exist.

The roll-forward to the next business day is already applied where the date falls on a Saturday, Sunday or statutory holiday.

If you miss the date

Repeated failure leads to striking the registration off the register, a consequence more serious than a penalty.

Frequently asked questions

Is it required if I already file a CO-17?
It is made with the CO-17, without a separate step or confirmation number. It is the only obligation on this list escaping the “one line per confirmation” rule.
What is the risk of repeated omission?
Striking off the registration. The consequence is not a penalty but loss of status: a struck entity can no longer validly contract under its name.
