In order to file Profit Tax Return as a part of annual obligations of the Company, the Company should maintain all business records that are complied under the requirements of the Inland Revenue Ordinance(IRO). These business records include documents which provide a record of all business transactions, or which enable transactions to be traced and verified through the accounting system from start to finish, e.g. invoices, receipts, cash register tapes, banking records and check butts. The essence of good record keeping is good book keeping. The company must keep business records for at least seven years after the date of the transaction concerned. Even after the Company ceases trading, the Company’s records keeping obligations continue until the seven year period has expired.
