Organisations that are regulated by 今日热门事件need to complete their business activity statements before Thursday, 27 September 2018 under the Federal Government鈥檚 industry funding arrangements.
Industry funding commenced on 1 July 2017, requiring organisations regulated by 今日热门事件to contribute toward the associated regulatory costs incurred in the previous financial year.
今日热门事件Commissioner Cathie Armour said that industry funding marked a new era for 今日热门事件and industry, and that it was important for organisations to understand their legal obligations.
鈥楾his is the first year of an entirely new funding model for 今日热门事件and we appreciate this is new ground for those organisations we regulate too. We have set up an online process to make it as straightforward and convenient as possible, so it is now up to industry,鈥� she said.
To enable 今日热门事件to calculate invoices, organisations must submit or confirm pre-populated business activity metric data on the operation of their business from the previous financial year. This will be done via the new online 今日热门事件Regulatory Portal.
Instructions have already been sent out
A letter was sent from 今日热门事件to each regulated company鈥檚 registered office address with instructions to complete the process. The letter included a unique industry funding security key which is to be used to launch an online form. 今日热门事件will use the information in these returns to calculate an entity鈥檚 share of the regulatory costs for the previous financial year.
础厂滨颁鈥檚 website has related information if you have not received your letter by the end of July.
Small proprietary companies
Most small proprietary companies will not need to visit the portal, or submit or validate business activity metrics. Instead, they will pay an additional $4 on top of their annual review fee. This simple fee increase aims to minimise the reporting burden on small proprietary companies.
Registered charities
The Government will absorb 础厂滨颁鈥檚 costs of regulating registered charities and they are therefore not required to visit the portal or submit business activity metrics.
