ASIC Director ID

CoggerGurry • September 15, 2022

From the 30th of November this year, ASIC requires all company directors to be issued with a director ID number.


There is an identity verification process which needs to be completed as part of the application which means ID numbers will need to be applied for individually and unfortunately, we cannot complete the application on your behalf.


The verification process is completed through the myGovID app – note myGovID is different to the myGov website and requires you to download the app and verify your identity with your driver’s license/passport etc.


Full instructions are available on the Australian Business Registry Service website – www.abrs.gov.au


You can complete the process via phone if you are unable to online, or you can contact the office and we will walk you through the process.


We will be directly contacting all company directors on our ASIC database over the coming weeks with further instructions on the necessary steps.

End-of-year Finalisation Through Single Touch Payroll (STP)

By Cogger Gurry • July 11, 2025
If you have paid wages to employees in the 2025 financial year you will need to make a finalisation declaration by 14 July 2025 to ensure your employees can access their finalised information to complete their tax return. When you have reported and finalised your employees' information through STP, you are exempt from: providing payment summaries to your employees lodging a payment summary annual report. For payments to your employees that were not reported through STP, you still need to: give a payment summary to your employees provide the ATO with a payment summary annual report for these payment summaries. For small employers (19 or fewer employees) who only have closely held payees, the due date for end-of-year STP finalisation is the payee's tax return due date.
