Some ASIC fees changed from today following CPI indexation. Business.gov.au reports that business name registration or renewal has increased from $45 to $47 for one year and from $104 to $108 for three years. Company registration and annual review fees have also increased. ASIC has also launched a new public beta company search service alongside ASIC Connect.

Who is affected: Company officeholders, business name holders, accountants, bookkeepers and service providers.
