Will I be able to retrieve information I have earlier provided in the New Company Start-Up Kit? Can I update information previously provided in the New Company Start-Up Kit?

No. Information provided in the New Company Start-Up Kit cannot be accessed again after you have ended your session. If you wish to change your responses after exiting, you will need to re-access the New Company Start-Up Kit.

If you have provided your email address to receive filing reminders, an email will be sent to you 1 month prior to your first Estimated Chargeable Income (ECI) and first Form C-S/ Form C-S (Lite)/ Form C filing due dates.
