ASIC Fees Increasing from 1 July 2026
ASIC has recently released its annual fee indexation updates, with new fees taking effect from 1 July 2026.
For example, the ASIC fee for a standard company registration will increase from $611 to $636. Various other ASIC lodgement and registration fees will also increase from 1 July.
We are currently reviewing our pricing and will release our FY 2027 fee schedule for new SMSF setups shortly.
ASIC Annual Review Fees 2026/27
Every company must pay an annual review fee to ASIC to remain registered. These fees are indexed each year in line with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and are GST-free.
From 1 July 2026 (2026/27 financial year):
- Proprietary company (standard Pty Ltd) – $342 (up from $329)
- SMSF special purpose trustee company – $70 (up from $67)
Your annual review date is usually the anniversary of your company’s registration or incorporation. ASIC sends an annual statement with the exact amount due (payable within two months of the review date).
ASIC Company Registration Fees 2026/27
Planning to register a new company? Note the upcoming increase:
- Application for registration as an Australian proprietary company (Pty Ltd with share capital, including SMSF trustee companies) – $636 (up from $611)
Grow SMSF will be adjusting our fees to set up an SMSF with a special purpose trustee company to reflect this change.
