Published

½ñÈÕÈÈÃÅʼþwelcomes the release by Treasury of a consultation paper proposing changes to fees-for-service.

While around 90% of ASIC’s regulatory activities will be now be recovered as part of the Government’s industry funding arrangements, the remaining 10% will be recovered via fees-for-service.

Fees-for-service recover the regulatory costs attributable to a single, identifiable entity. They apply to:

  • licencing and professional registration services
  • processing of relief applications, and
  • ASIC’s formal compliance review of documents lodged by entities under the Corporations Act.

½ñÈÕÈÈÃÅʼþCommissioner John Price said, ‘The current fees for these activities do not reflect their actual cost and the Government is seeking input from industry on changes to address this.’
