What does your corporation need to lodge?
Enter three numbers and this will tell you which reports your corporation is likely to need, by when, and whether an audit is required. It runs entirely in your browser — nothing you type is sent to us.
How to read your result
Size is worked out from the three figures you entered: a corporation is a given size if it meets at least two of the three criteria for that size. Income alone does not decide it — a corporation with modest income but significant assets can be a different size than its bank balance suggests.
The two figures that do most of the work are $100,000 and $5 million. Below the first, a small corporation’s obligations are light. At the second, a directors’ report is required and the rules about who may audit narrow considerably.
Checked against ORIC — Corporation size, .
What this can’t tell you
Your obligations follow your corporation’s registered size — the size ORIC holds on the register — not the size these figures imply. Usually they match. Where a corporation has grown and not told the Registrar, they do not, and the register is what counts.
It also cannot see an exemption your corporation holds, a non-June year end, or anything specific to your circumstances. Treat the result as a good indication of where you stand, then check it against the Registrar’s current guide or ask us.
Frequently asked questions
Does this send my corporation’s figures anywhere?
No. The whole thing runs in your browser. Nothing you type is sent to us, stored, or logged — you can turn off your internet connection after the page loads and it will still work. We ask for figures because the answer depends on them, not because we want them.
Is this an official determination of what we owe?
No, and nothing on this page should be treated as one. It applies the Registrar’s published rules to the numbers you enter. Your corporation’s actual obligations follow its registered size — what ORIC holds on the register — which can differ from what your current figures suggest.
What if our registered size looks wrong?
It happens, particularly where a corporation has grown. If the size the register shows no longer reflects the corporation, that is worth sorting out — the reports you must lodge follow the registered size, so an out-of-date registration can mean lodging the wrong thing.
Where do these rules come from?
The Registrar’s own published material — the corporation size page, the general, financial and audit report pages, and the corporation reporting guide. Each answer the checker gives links to the page it came from so you can read the source yourself.
