Directors: Is an old address putting your personal assets at risk? 📉

The ATO is issuing thousands of Director Penalty Notices (DPNs) in 2026. These notices are sent to the residential address on your ASIC Company Extract.

If that address is out of date, you could miss the 21-day window to respond, making you personally liable for company tax debts without you even knowing.

Accurate admin isn't just about avoiding late fees—it’s about legal protection.

Is your "Admin To-Do List" costing you $411? ✍️

Most small business changes—like a new home address or a change in shareholdings—must be lodged with ASIC within 28 days.

If you wait until your annual review to "clean things up," you aren't just doing admin—you're paying for the privilege. At Moran Financial, we help small business directors stay on the right side of the clock.

Small Business Owners: ASIC doesn't care if you're busy. 🛑💸

In 2026, missing an ASIC deadline by just over a month costs your business $411. That is capital that should be going into your growth, not into a penalty.

The most common reason for these fees? Outdated addresses and missed email notices. At Moran Financial, we specialise in helping small proprietary companies stay under the radar and out of the "late fee" trap.

Stop paying the "Busy Tax." Read our guide on our Blog page.

Great news for Directors! 📄✨

Your residential address is no longer public on ASIC company searches. This 2026 change is designed to protect you from cybercrime and identity theft.

However, while the public can't see your address, ASIC and the ATO still can.
If you move house and don't tell ASIC, you could miss urgent legal mail sent to your old home. Don't let a "hidden" record lead to a visible legal problem.

Check your compliance status with Moran Financial today.

The $411 Typo. ✍️❌

Did you know that updating your address with the ATO doesn't automatically update it with ASIC?

If your Director ID and your ASIC records don't match, you're looking at more than just a late fee—you're looking at potential "red flags" for your bank and future investors.
