What is included in a filings invoice?
A filings invoice brings together several items covering the fees and services required to manage a company's corporate transactions.
Filings clerk's fees
This is the filings clerk's fee for handling the file, carrying out checks and completing all formalities with the commercial court registry. It covers their time and expertise in ensuring the transaction complies and runs smoothly.
Legal notice
Certain types of transaction (amendments to the articles, company formation, etc.) require publication in a legal notices journal. This cost covers the publication fees, which are mandatory to inform the public of certain changes in the company's life. For more information, see the work of the filings clerk.
Commercial court registry fees
Registry fees are the administrative fees paid to the commercial court registry. These fees vary depending on the type of filing (company registration, amendment, filing of accounts) and are required to record transactions in the RCS.
Miscellaneous fees
There may also be ancillary costs depending on the nature of the filings, such as stamp duty, certification fees, or costs relating to specific procedures with other government bodies.
A filings invoice consists of the filings clerk's fee, legal notice costs, commercial court registry fees, and any other ancillary costs relating to the transaction.
