There are 54 companies to be deregistered from the Samoa Register of Companies due to their failure to file annual returns while some companies are no longer operating.

Signed by the Chief Executive Officer of Commerce Industry and Labour, Pulotu Lyndon Chu Ling, the Ministry issued a notice informing the owners of the 54 businesses that anyone who wishes to object to the removal of these companies must file and objection with the Registrar of Companies by 14 June 2024.

"Notice is hereby given that the following companies will be removed from the Samoa Register of Companies, pursuant to sention 124 & 260 (a) of the Companies Act 2001 ("the Act") as the company fails to file annual return or is no longer carrying on business and there is no other reason for the company to continue in existence," the notice reads.
