Annual Statements and Late Fees
Every company has an annual review date, usually the anniversary of its
registration date. Soon after its annual review date each year, we will issue
you with your annual statement, an invoice statement and a solvency minute
from the Australian Securities & Investment Commission.
Depending on the circumstances, if you don’t meet the legal time limits that
apply to paying your annual review fee and responding to your annual statement you may be charged any one of the following three types of late fees (or a combination of two late fees or all three): -
- late payment fee
- late review fee
- late lodgement fee
