How does business compliance work in Australia?

Australian compliance involves corporate governance with ASIC and tax obligations with the ATO. Key tasks include lodging an annual company statement with ASIC, maintaining a resident director, and filing an annual company tax return. If turnover exceeds A$75,000, GST registration and periodic Business Activity Statement (BAS) filings are also required.

What are the key risks of non-compliance in Australia?

Non-compliance in Australia can lead to significant late fees and penalties from both ASIC and the ATO. Failure to lodge documents can result in the company being struck off the register, while directors can face personal liability for breaches of their duties, including insolvent trading.
