Each year on 1 July, ASIC updates some of its fees to correspond with an increase in the Consumer Price Index.
Compare the complete business name registration cost
Check the current term, included ASIC fee and any optional services before paying. Registration and renewal are separate events, and business name registration does not protect the brand as a trade mark.
- See Sprintlaw's current registration price: Choose a one-year or three-year registration with the ASIC fee included in the displayed price.
- Read the official registration requirements: Check eligibility, ABN requirements and the direct government process.
These changes will see fees raised for commonly lodged documents.
So, what documents are affected by ASIC’s fee increase? And what does this mean for your business? We’ve broken down what you need to know.
Increases To Company Fees
ASIC adjusts its fees annually based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI). The current fees will apply until 30 June 2026, with new fees expected from 1 July 2026.
Increases To Business Name Fees
ASIC will also be changing its fees for the registration and renewal of business names, effective 1 July 2025.
What Else Do You Need To Know?
Even though these fee increases are, in most cases, fairly minor, it’s still important you’re aware of them as there are penalties for non-compliance.
Additionally, you should note that GST doesn’t apply to ASIC fees.
A more detailed explanation of these fee increases can be found on ASIC’s fee indexation page.
