When is your ASIC review date actually due?

Late fees apply automatically and keep accruing the longer the review fee goes unpaid. If the company stays non-compliant, ASIC can move toward deregistration. The fix is to pay and lodge as soon as you realise: check the current fee and late-fee figures on asic.gov.au, because they change.

When we checked ASIC's pages on 2026-10-05, the late company annual review fee was A$102 for payment up to 1 month late and A$428 for payment more than 1 month late, charged on top of the review fee. Separate late fees can apply to each document lodged late, so they can stack. ASIC changes these figures, so confirm them at the source: ASIC: Late company annual review fee and ASIC: Late fees.

Your review date is the anniversary of your company's registration. The annual statement is issued around that date and the review fee is due within two months of it. Find the date on your ASIC annual statement or in ASIC Connect. The free checker on this page works it out from the anniversary you type in.

A solvency resolution is a directors' resolution stating the company can pay its debts as and when they fall due. Proprietary companies must pass one within two months after each review date and keep it on file. You do not lodge it with ASIC; you keep it with the company records.

Yes. ASIC can deregister a company that fails to pay fees or lodge documents, among other grounds. Deregistration is not instant: ASIC publishes notices first. But a deregistered company's assets vest in ASIC, which is a serious outcome. Staying current on review fees and lodgements is the simple prevention.

No. The solvency resolution is not lodged with ASIC; it is passed by the directors within two months after the review date and kept with the company's records. ASIC can ask to see it. If you cannot honestly pass it, get professional advice quickly, because insolvent trading has personal consequences for directors.

The common path is voluntary deregistration: the company must have no assets and no liabilities (or meet ASIC's criteria), all members must agree, and you apply to ASIC. Alternatively, keep it registered and stay compliant. Do not just stop paying fees: that leads to late fees and forced deregistration, which is messier.

You are obliged to keep ASIC's records current: changes to officeholders, addresses, and share structure must be notified within 28 days. Out-of-date details mean renewal notices go to the wrong address, which is how review dates get missed. Update details through ASIC Connect.

ASIC can waive or remit fees in limited circumstances, but forgetting is not one of them. If you believe you have genuine grounds, contact ASIC and ask; the worst they can say is no. Do not count on a waiver as a strategy: pay on time instead.

Check your ASIC annual statement, which is issued around your review date, or log in to ASIC Connect and look at your company details. The free Renewal Date Checker on this page computes your next review date and two-month payment window from the registration anniversary you enter.

Company annual statements and business name renewals, the two with fixed ASIC deadlines. ABNs have no renewal date, so there's nothing to track there and we won't pretend otherwise.

No. ASIC Watchdog is reminders only: it never logs in to ASIC Connect, never handles your credentials, never stores company documents. Lodgement stays with you or your accountant.

Yes, and that's a real alternative. ASIC sends renewal notices to your registered address and ASIC Connect lets you manage your own dates, at no cost. The honest cost of the DIY route is your attention: checking dates across entities, keeping addresses current, and catching the one notice that lands in spam. We exist for people who'd rather pay A$59 than run that process themselves.

No, and be wary of anyone who does. Reminders are a courtesy, not a compliance service. Today the pack is self-serve: you set the check-in dates yourself. When automated email reminders launch, they run a fail-closed chain (errors halt and flag rather than silently skip), and if we ever fail to send a reminder for a renewal you registered, the refund policy above applies. Keep your own calendar as backup.

Yes. One A$59/year subscription covers unlimited entities and addresses: your company, your SMSF trustee company, your business names, all of them.

Any time: email fairformco@gmail.com to cancel, or use the cancel link in any reminder email once automated reminders are live. Annual billing, no lock-in, no retention maze.

It works out your next review date, your two-month payment window, and the five reminder dates from the anniversary you type in. That is the whole job. It does not look up the ASIC register, it does not monitor your company, and it is general information only, not advice.

ASIC Watchdog is an independent Australian publisher of ASIC renewal reminder packs, not affiliated with ASIC. We do not ask for trust on reputation; we show the working. Every reminder date is derived from ASIC's published rules, the sources are linked on our Methodology page, and the refund terms are printed above. If a reminder fails because of our error (once automated reminders are live), that year's subscription is refunded in full; until launch, the same refund applies if we fail to deliver your self-serve pack.

Two reasons. ChatGPT cannot email you on the day (neither can we, yet: the automated chain launches later for subscribers), and chatbots invent dates and clause numbers with total confidence; our reminder rules are checked against ASIC's published schedule, dated on this page. What you get today is the self-serve pack with the same five-point cadence (T-60, 30, 14, 7 and 1 day), ready to download. The free route is real: ASIC sends its own notices, and our free checklist shows you where every date lives.

No. It is a reminder service and general information only. The legal obligation to renew on time stays with you, and ASIC's published fees and dates override anything on this page.
