Companies Register

Every year you need to confirm that the information about your company on the Companies Register is correct and pay a fee of $49.74 (plus GST). This is called an annual return.

The name, address and appointment status of your company directors must be kept up to date on the Companies Register.

Some people may be banned (‘disqualified’ or ‘prohibited’) from being a director. A banned director can't:

• act as a director or promoter of a company or
• take part in the management of a company (either directly or indirectly).

If your company is closing down, there are a number of things you need to do before you can ask us to remove it from the Companies Register. Our guide can help you complete the process.
