You can choose to include the following in the Summary:

  • ‘Forms Due to Lodge’ to be notified of all 484 forms that have less than 7 days left to lodge before a late fee will be applied.
  • 'Annual Fee Will Be Applied Soon' to be notified of all Companies that will receive a late fee due for an Annual Statement.

The ASIC Calendar is available under the Productivity section of the Menu.

If several deadlines are on the same date, a list of documents will appear as collapsed and can be expanded by clicking on ‘ + x­­ MORE’.
