Approval within 120 days of year-end, or 180 days where the bylaws give a reason. Deposit within 30 days of approval. For a 31 December year-end and approval on the last day, the deposit falls around 30 May.

Annual Accounts (Bilancio) Deposit

Shareholders approve the accounts within 120 days of year-end, then the bilancio is deposited at the Registro Imprese within 30 days of approval.
