Details
There are some cases where you may need to change your annual review date (i.e. to align dates across companies). A request to change a review date will be considered if the company or companies have:
- a common ultimate holding company
- a common officeholder
- a common responsible entity
- exceptional circumstances
ASIC will NOT change the annual review date to assist a registered agent in managing their workload (i.e. spread the review dates of the companies represented evenly across the year).
Applying for a Change of Annual Review Dates
You can apply at any time if you are:
- an officeholder of the company or
- a responsible entity for a scheme.
To apply complete the Application to change the review date of a company or registered scheme (Form 488).
This is a manual form and will need to be prepared and lodged outside of CAS 360.
