We’re inviting directors to trial a new annual return form

We are making it easier than ever to complete your annual return. To do this we have partnered with Business Connect to create a new, mobile-friendly online form. The Business Connect Platform is an All of Government platform enabling secure and efficient creation and processing of forms and transactions.

When you use our new mobile-friendly option, you can review and confirm your company details directly from your mobile device — quickly, securely, and hassle-free. 

Because the Business Connect form uses our API, you get a small discount.

• Companies Office online service — $49.74 (plus GST)
• Business Connect mobile form — $46.74 (plus GST)

Who can trial the Business Connect form

We are inviting directors that have completed their own annual returns before to trial the new form. Once you have completed your return, we will send you a short survey to get your feedback.

If you’ve received an invitation from us, you can participate if:

• your annual return is due now, and
• you don’t need to update any of your company’s details, and
• you can pay your filing fee by credit card or debit card.

How to begin the trial

1. Check that your company details are up to date, especially:
   • Company addresses
   • Director details
   • Shareholdings
2. Log in to Business Connect and complete your annual return.
