ASIC Agent Services and Company Compliance

Australian companies have ongoing obligations to ASIC that must be met regardless of the size or activity level of the company. Missing annual review deadlines, failing to update changes to directors or shareholders, or not maintaining a registered office address generates late fees and, in persistent cases, deregistration. Linix Accountants acts as ASIC agent for small business clients from the Alexandria office.

Linix is a registered ASIC agent and provides annual company review processing, director and shareholder changes, registered office services, company name changes, and other ASIC lodgements for small businesses across Sydney.

Every Australian company receives an annual review notice from ASIC on the anniversary of registration. The review must be responded to within two months and the annual review fee paid within the same period. Changes to company officeholders and shareholders must be lodged with ASIC within 28 days of the change occurring.

For businesses considering deregistering an inactive company, Linix manages the voluntary deregistration process with ASIC and coordinates with the ATO on the associated tax obligations.

Failing to respond to the ASIC annual review within two months and pay the annual review fee generates late payment fees from ASIC. Continued non-compliance results in ASIC issuing a deregistration notice. Once a company is deregistered, its assets vest in ASIC and reinstating the company requires a formal application. Linix manages annual review deadlines for client companies to ensure this does not occur.

Changes to company officeholders, including the appointment or resignation of directors, must be lodged with ASIC within 28 days of the change occurring. The same timeframe applies to changes to the registered office address and changes to the shareholding structure. Linix prepares and lodges these notifications on behalf of client companies.
