📣 Calling all Company Directors. Just a reminder that as of November 2021, all current directors and anyone wanting to become a director in Australia, require a Director Identification Number. It is aimed at preventing the use of false or fraudulent director identities. You only apply for it once and it will be used to identify you as a director across all of your companies.
***IMPORTANT DATES TO REMEMBER***
✅ 31st October 2021
If you are a director on or before this date you must apply by 30th November 2022.
✅ 1st November 2021 - 4th April 2022
If you become a director between these dates you will need to apply within 28 days of appointment.
✅ 5th April 2022
If you become a director after this date, you will need to apply for a director ID number before being appointed as a Director to a company.
***HOW TO APPLY***
All Directors must apply for their Director ID Number themselves. Unfortunately, your authorised tax, BAS or ASIC agent can't apply for a director ID on your behalf.
