You're required to fill out and file an annual report within 30 days of your annual general meeting (AGM). You can see this rule in Section 78 of the Societies Act.
Not having filed an annual report is the most common reason why a society might be in default. Your annual report is due 4 months after your fiscal-year end, or 5 months if you are filing under the new Act.

How to file under the new Societies Act
We recommend filing your annual report form online using the Yukon Corporate Online Registry (YCOR). This will make the fees lower and we'll be able to process your files faster.
