The decision was taken "in light of difficulties experienced by some small accountancy firms as a result of the evolving Covid-19 situation in meeting the filing deadline for Annual Returns on behalf of their clients," a statement from Minister for Company Regulation Robert Troy said.
Mr Troy added that the extension will give firms "greater certainty and breathing room to meet their filing obligations on behalf of their clients".
