Proposed Changes to Large Proprietary Company Reporting in Australia

Department of Treasury Update

The Department of Treasury has issued a consultation paper which proposes doubling the thresholds for proprietary companies to assess whether they are large and therefore would have reporting requirements under the Corporations Act.

The proposed changes from 1 July 2019 would be:

• increasing the annual consolidated revenue threshold to $50 million or more;
• increasing the value of gross assets to $25 million or more; and
• increasing the maximum employee size to 100 employees or more.

The consultation paper is available for comment until 14 December 2018.
