We are aware of an increasing number of clients receiving fake or misleading notices regarding annual company review fees.

These notices are designed to look like official invoices, but in many cases they are not required to be paid and may relate to third-party providers charging unnecessary fees.

A few reminders:
> Don’t assume a notice is an official ASIC invoice
> You do not need to use a third-party provider – company reviews should be completed through ASIC or your accountant

If you’re unsure whether a notice requires action, please check before making payment.
