Beware of Scams
Criminals frequently attempt to scam individuals and businesses out of money.
This can include by:
- sending fake invoices, notices or requests for payment
- offering to provide services (such as Business Name Renewal) at significantly inflated cost
- making false or misleading claims relating to your payment or lodgement olbigations, or your entitlement to a refund
- attempting to steal personal information, passwords and usernames to gain unauthorised access to your government accounts
Often, these scams might look like a legitimate invoice or come from an organisation with an official-sounding name.
Before paying any fee, check to make sure the invoice or payment request is genuine. If in doubt, contact ASIC or your trusted professional adviser to verify the fee.
Australian Government Agences will never request payment using Gift Cards, Gift Vouchers, iTunes Cards or Google Play Cards.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often are ASIC Fees increased? When do the increases apply?
ASIC Fees are indexed annually, and fee increases take effect from 1 July each year.
Are ASIC Fees subject to GST?
No. ASIC Fees are not subject to Australian GST.
Do penalties apply for late lodgement?
Yes. A late lodgement fee may be applied if a required lodgement is not completed on time.
For example:
- Changes to Company Details (Form 484) — such as changes to shareholders, officeholders and company addresses — must be notified to ASIC witin 28 days.
- Some ASIC Lodgements must be made within 14 days — such as notification of certain company resolutions.
- Annual Company Review Fees must be paid within 2 months of the Annual Review Date.
- Any changes resulting from an Annual Company Review must also be lodged promptly — late lodgement fees may apply if changes are notified after the relevan deadline
Failure to lodge documents and information when required may also contravene the Corporations Act, which could result in additional fines, penalties or regulatory action.
