Update – ASIC Fee Increases

From the 1 July 2022, some fees may increase for the lodgement of documents with the Australian Securities & Investments Commission (ASIC). ASIC increases its fees each year based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the previous quarter. Annual CPI inflation increased to 5.1% in the last March quarter. Even though these fees are minor, there are penalties for non- compliance. As such, it is important to understand what documents will be impacted and how it will affect your organisation.

Some of the most common documents we lodge are set out below:
