Annual compliance · US + India + UAE

    Keep the company in good standing, every filing year.

    A missed annual report or franchise-tax payment can dissolve your company or strip its good standing. We track every recurring deadline across your entities and file on time — US annual reports and franchise tax, India RoC annual returns, and UAE trade-licence renewals. One compliance calendar, handled.

    How it works

    Three steps to a tracked compliance calendar.

    1

    Entity + deadline review

    We list every entity you hold, the jurisdiction it sits in, and each recurring obligation — annual report, franchise tax, RoC return, or licence renewal. Where you stand today and what is coming due.

    2

    Build the compliance calendar

    Each recurring deadline is logged with its filing window and lead time. You see the year ahead in one place, and we own the reminders so nothing depends on you remembering.

    3

    File on time, every cycle

    We prepare and file each return or renewal ahead of its deadline, pay the government fee at cost, and confirm the filing back to your portal. The next cycle is already on the calendar.

    What it costs

    Pricing scoped to your entities

    Annual Compliance & Reporting starts from $149. Annual compliance is quoted in writing after the compliance review, as a flat attorney fee per entity and jurisdiction sized to the obligations involved. Government, state, registry, and free-zone fees — and the franchise tax itself — are passed through at cost with no markup. You approve the fee before each cycle begins.

    What's included

    • Compliance review across every entity you hold, mapped by jurisdiction
    • A tracked calendar of each recurring deadline with its filing window
    • US annual or biennial report preparation and filing
    • US franchise-tax calculation and payment (Delaware, California, and others)
    • India RoC annual returns and financial statements (AOC-4, MGT-7) and director KYC
    • UAE trade-licence renewal with the relevant authority or free zone
    • Government and registry fees paid at cost on your behalf
    • Filing confirmations delivered back to your portal each cycle

    GTC prepares and files the statutory returns and renewals; the government or registry grants the filing, and no specific outcome is guaranteed. This is not tax or investment advice — where a filing touches tax, we coordinate a qualified tax adviser. GTC's professional fee renders live from the catalog.

    Every deadline tracked

    Annual reports, franchise tax, RoC annual returns, and licence renewals are logged with their filing windows. We watch the calendar so a deadline never arrives unannounced.

    US, India, and UAE in one place

    Hold entities across jurisdictions and the obligations multiply. We carry all of them — Delaware franchise tax, an Indian RoC annual return, a UAE trade-licence renewal — on one calendar rather than three.

    Good standing protected

    A lapsed filing can void good standing, block financing, or administratively dissolve the company. Filing on time keeps the entity in good standing and the corporate record clean.

    Filed by people, not a reminder app

    We do not just remind you — we prepare and file the return or renewal and confirm it back to you. Government and registry fees are passed through at cost, never marked up.

    The compliance cycle

    From compliance review to a filed year.

    The review is one-time; after that the calendar runs each year and we file ahead of every window.

    1. Day 0

      Entity + deadline review

      We map every entity, jurisdiction, and recurring obligation, and confirm where each one stands today — current, due soon, or already overdue.

    2. Week 1

      Compliance calendar built

      Each annual report, franchise-tax payment, RoC return, and licence renewal is logged with its filing window and the lead time we need before it.

    3. Ahead of each deadline

      Prepare and file

      We draft the return or renewal, pay the government fee at cost, file inside the window, and confirm the filing back to your portal.

    4. Every cycle

      Repeat on schedule

      The next year is already on the calendar. Each cycle we file again on time, so the entity stays in good standing without you tracking dates.

    Annual Compliance & Reporting FAQ

    Frequently asked questions

    In the US, most states require an annual or biennial report and, in states like Delaware and California, a franchise tax. In India, a private company files annual returns and financial statements with the Registrar of Companies (RoC) — typically forms AOC-4 and MGT-7 — plus director KYC. In the UAE, the main recurring obligation is the trade-licence renewal with the relevant authority or free zone, alongside any corporate-tax and VAT filings. We map your exact obligations on the compliance review.
