Free tools for Australian company compliance
Free calculators and checkers: do you need a resident director, what it costs, your compliance calendar, setup timeline and the Director ID steps.
These tools turn the rules in our guides into an answer for your company. Each one runs entirely in your web browser: nothing you type is sent to us or anyone else, there is no sign-up, and you can use them as often as you like.
Use them to check whether your company needs an Australian-resident director under section 201A of the Corporations Act, to compare the real cost of the options for meeting that requirement, to build a twelve-month calendar of ASIC and ATO deadlines you can download into your own calendar, to plan the steps and realistic timing for setting up an Australian subsidiary, to work out how a director who lives overseas applies for a Director ID, to cost a missed ASIC annual review, and to check a director's personal exposure to ATO director penalties.
Every tool shows the assumptions and official sources behind its result, so your accountant or lawyer can check the working. The results are general information based on the details you enter. They are not legal or tax advice, and a professional should confirm how the rules apply to your structure before you rely on them. When you are ready to act, the onboarding form takes about ten minutes.
