Annual returns and CAC filings
How Do I Update My Business Address After Moving?
A move can require updates across several records. The CAC record, tax profile, bank account and customer-facing contact details serve different purposes. A change on one system should not be assumed to flow automatically into all the others.
Quick answer
A move can require updates across several records. The CAC record, tax profile, bank account and customer-facing contact details serve different purposes. A change on one system should not be assumed to flow automatically into all the others.
What to do next
Confirm the new address and effective date.
Identify the applicable CAC post-registration filing.
Track tax bank and customer updates separately.
A practical example
A company moving from Abuja to Port Harcourt should keep evidence of the new location and review every account using the old address. Do not silently edit historic invoices already issued.
Before you act
Keep the underlying decision, supporting documents and accepted filing evidence in the same folder. If the change affects banking, tax or a licence, track that update separately. The correct process depends on the entity and the particular change.

What Is the Difference Between CAC Annual Returns and Tax Returns?
These filings serve different authorities and purposes. A CAC annual return updates the corporate register; a tax return deals with tax reporting. Completing one does not prove the other has been completed, and a payment receipt is not always evidence that a filing was accepted.
