2025 ASIC fee increases come into effect 1 July 2025; DPN penalty units increase - this impacts penalties relating to Director IDs.

1 July 2025 sees the ASIC company fees increase, but we also draw your attention to the increase of the Director Penalty Unit value.
As always, the ASIC Annual Review fee has increased - was $321, now $329; late payment fees have also increased.

Penalties relating to Director IDs
Our Corporate Compliance team is currently reminding clients to send us your Director ID number if we don't have it on record. We are doing this because ASIC states:
It is an offence if you:
- do not apply for a director ID on time
- do not have a director ID when you should
- apply for more than one director ID or
- misrepresent your director ID.
Serious penalties may apply, including fines and imprisonment.
The penalties are described in ‘penalty units’. The unit value changes over time.

Please note that a penalty unit is $330, so, failure to have a Director ID could result in a penalty totalling $19,800.
