Late fees applied by ASIC

Most documents need to be lodged to ASIC within a certain timeframe. If documents are lodged outside this time, they may charge a late lodgement fee.

You need to make sure Annual Statement fees are paid on time and tell ASIC when details change. If not, a fee may be charged for not paying the Annual Statement fee, as well as a fee for not notifying ASIC of any changes.

ASIC Fees are applied to certain lodgements as well as Annual Statements, these include:

  • Company Registration fees
  • 205 Company Name Change fees
  • Annual Statement fees

ASIC Late Fees apply to lodgements that are made past the lodgement due date. The late fees are applied as per below:

  • Lodgement or payment up to one month late - $96 late fee
  • Lodgement or payment over one month late - $401 late fee

Note: if the effective date of change is backdated and an Annual Statement has been issued within that time a late fee will apply. Changes must be lodged within 28 days of the Annual Statement issue date to avoid late fees.

  • Changes to annual statement notified up to one month late - $96
  • Changes to annual statement notified more than one month late - $401

For example this can mean that if a form has been backdated a month late and the Annual Statement was issued in that time the late fee will be $192. Both the late lodgement fee of $96 and the late notification of change to the Annual Statement of $96 being incurred.
