The Tongan registry was based largely on the Niue Companies Office registry regime and website, which was successfully launched and implemented in 2006 with the assistance and support from the NZCO.

In 2006, riots during a period of civil disturbance resulted in extensive damage to the central business district of Nuku’alofa. The company and business licence registries were destroyed by fire and no back-ups had been made so re-establishing the registry has been a difficult task. The building of an electronic register is therefore an exciting step forward for the Kingdom of Tonga.

The New Zealand Companies Office has a keen interest in supporting and building economic growth in the South Pacific through the provision of electronic corporate registers.

]]> The importance of your annual return http://www.companies.gov.nu/cms/customer-support-all/public-notices/whats-new/the-importance-of-your-annual-return Being an online registry it is very important that information provided is accurate and up to date. Carterd noTop Site Highlights Sun, 30 Aug 2009 11:00:00 +1200 Like most registries in the world, Niue companies are required to file once a year during a specified month, an annual return in the prescribed form together with the annual return filing fee of $45.00.  Despite the Registrar providing notice each year that a company’s annual return is due we have many companies that either file late or don’t file at all.  This can lead to late filing fees being incurred or worse the company ultimately being removed from the register.

All annual returns must be submitted to :-

Registrar of Companies
Treasury Department
Niue Public Services
PO Box 36
Utuko
Alofi
Niue
