ASIC Fees Increase From 1 July 2020

Each year on 1 July, ASIC updates some of its fees to correspond with an increase in the Consumer Price Index.

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

As part of its annual fee increase, ASIC will be raising the following company fees from 1 July 2020. 

Increases To Business Name Fees

ASIC will also be raising its fees for the registration and renewal of business names, effective 1 July 2020. 

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. 

Many of the above ASIC forms can be lodged online, and you can update your company’s details online, too. Check out our guide to using ASIC’s online services for more information.
