File your annual return and EFF declaration without retyping corporate details

Ontario corporations filing the Annual Return and Exempt From Filing (EFF) declaration repeat corporation legal name, business number, registered office address, and director details on every filing package. This guide is an example of storing them once in hivi.

Official form and source

Start from the official source and always use the current version — form numbers and links can change:

• Service page: Corporations tax forms and publications — ontario.ca
• Form (Central Forms Repository): Annual Return and EFF Declaration and Guide — 013-1872

What this form is about

Form 013-1872 is the Annual Return and EFF Declaration and Guide for Ontario corporations — an EFF declaration is due within six months of taxation year end when criteria are met; confirm rules on ontario.ca.

Before you start: what to gather

• Corporation legal name and Ontario corporation number.
• Registered office address and business number.
• Director names and addresses for the reporting year.
• Taxation year end and whether EFF criteria apply — review with your accountant.

Confirm the current process on ontario.ca.

How hivi makes it faster

1. Save it once. Store your corporation name, address, and director details in your hivi profile.

3. Autofill the form. Use the hivi Chrome extension on a web form, or fill a PDF from your saved profile inside hivi.
