The Annual Reporting requirement is part of the new reporting requirements that the QBCC introduced in the 1 April 2019 legalisation changes.
The Annual Report
The Annual Report asks each licensee to provide the QBCC with Financial Information (essential profit & loss and balance sheet information) from the most recent financial year – for most licensees this will be the prior 30 June.
The amount of information that you need to provide will depend on which type of license you hold:
- Self-disclosing category 1 – turnover up to $200,000
- Self-disclosing category 2 – turnover up to $870,000
- Category 1 – turnover up to $3,000,000
- Category 2 – turnover up to $12,000,000
- Category 3 – turnover up to $30,000,000
How to lodge
Self-disclosing categories 1 & 2
We have spoken with the QBCC, they have confirmed that the Financials can be directly from your accounting software. We encourage you to be cautious as they must still meet the minimum financial requirements under your license.
Categories 1,2 & 3
If your license is under these categories, it is likely that you will require our assistance to prepare the Financial Information as you must lodge A Statement of Cash Flow & Statement of Equity which are generally unavailable directly from your Accounting software.
Annual Reporting versus Minimum Financial Requirements
At a basic level the Annual Reporting will provide the QBCC with access to your revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities which will allow the QBCC to determine if you hold more enough Net Tangible Assets at the end of the financial year.
This will also allow the QBCC to focus on licensees who do not hold enough to match their turnover, providing them with a grace period of up to 31 December 2020 to strengthen up their asset position.
We will send more information about this in the next few months.
