As your ASIC registered agent, Advivo monitors your compliance requirements and informs you when fees are due, we even follow you up if you fail to respond in a timely manner. We do this as we do not want to see your money wasted on ASIC late fees.
Every year your company will receive an annual statement from the Australian Securities Investment Commission (ASIC) with an annual review fee that needs to be paid within two months. For example, if the date of the annual review is 1 July you have until 1 September to pay.
Late Penalty Fees
If you miss a payment or lodgement due date? You are required to pay a late penalty fee of:
- $80 for up to a month late*
- $333 for more than 1 month late*
*Fees are as at 1 July 2019
Why Do Many SMB’s Incur Late Fees?
What most people don’t know is between 2018-19 ASIC generated a staggering $137 million in late fees! Why do so many small to medium business owners let this happen?
The first reason is business owners forget to pay the annual review fee. ASIC does not send reminders for the invoice and some ASIC agents will not either. Don’t let this be you! As your registered agent, Advivo will ensure you’re contacted closer to the due date so as you can make better use of your money rather than having to pay ASIC late fees.
The second can be penalties resulting from poor compliance this includes changes made to company details such as addresses, new directors and adjusting shareholdings. If ASIC is not notified of these changes within 28 days, late fees will apply.
