Your Company, Registered Right – Fast and Compliant

Registering a company is a significant milestone – but the paperwork, legal requirements, and compliance obligations can feel overwhelming. At Pay Your Taxes, we simplify the entire process. From helping you choose the right company structure to lodging your application with ASIC, securing your ACN, registering your ABN and TFN, and guiding directors through mandatory director ID applications – we handle everything so you can start trading with confidence, fully compliant from day one.

How We Work

We begin by understanding your business goals, ownership plans, and risk profile. Based on this, we confirm that a proprietary limited (Pty Ltd) company is the right structure for you, and help you choose your company name – checking its availability with ASIC before proceeding.

Once the structure is confirmed, we manage the full ASIC registration process. We prepare and lodge Form 201, the official application for registration as an Australian company. This includes submitting all required director and shareholder details, proposed officeholder information, share structure, and registered office address. We also ensure that written consents are obtained from every proposed director, company secretary, and shareholder before lodgment – a critical legal requirement under the Corporations Act 2001 that is often overlooked but essential for valid appointments.

  • Complete ASIC Registration

    We manage your entire company incorporation – submitting Form 201, securing your ACN, and lodging all director, shareholder, and officeholder details correctly.

  • Director ID & Governance

    We guide every director through the mandatory director identification number process and ensure you understand your ongoing corporate compliance obligations.

  • Integrated ABN & Tax Setup

    Once your company is registered, we secure your ABN and TFN, register for GST if needed, and set up PAYG withholding for your employees.

After ASIC processes your application, you receive your Australian Company Number (ACN) and certificate of incorporation – typically within 2 business days when all documents are correctly submitted.

Simultaneously, we guide every director through the mandatory director identification number (director ID) application process. Directors must apply for their own director ID through the Australian Business Registry Services portal before their appointment – a requirement for all company directors. We provide step‑by‑step guidance and ensure every director completes this before the company is registered.

Finally, we secure your company's Australian Business Number (ABN) and Tax File Number (TFN), register your business name if you're trading under a name different from your registered company name, and assess your tax obligations – including GST registration if your projected turnover exceeds $75,000 and PAYG withholding setup if you plan to employ staff. We also explain your ongoing compliance obligations, including annual company statements, BAS lodgments, and company tax return deadlines – so nothing catches you by surprise.

For Individuals & Sole Traders

If you're a sole trader considering transitioning to a company structure, we help you understand the benefits and trade‑offs. A proprietary limited company offers limited liability protection, separating your personal assets from business debts. It can also provide tax advantages, including access to the lower corporate tax rate (25% for base rate entities) and greater flexibility in retaining profits within the business.

We guide you through the entire transition – from choosing your company name and determining your share structure to lodging the ASIC registration, securing your ABN and TFN for the new entity, and ensuring all director ID requirements are met. We also help you understand how to transfer existing business assets, contracts, and registrations from your sole trader ABN to your new company, ensuring a seamless handover with no compliance gaps.

For Businesses

For entrepreneurs and established operators forming a new company, we manage the complete incorporation process. We help you choose the right company structure (typically a proprietary limited company, or Pty Ltd), confirm your company name is available, determine share structure and shareholder details, and lodge Form 201 with ASIC – including all required director, secretary, and shareholder consents.

Once registered, you receive your ACN and certificate of incorporation. We then guide every director through the mandatory director ID application, secure your company's ABN and TFN, register your business name with ASIC, and set up GST and PAYG withholding based on your projected turnover and hiring plans. We also ensure you understand your ongoing reporting obligations, including annual company statements to ASIC, BAS lodgments to the ATO, and company tax return deadlines. For businesses considering more complex structures, we can also advise on holding companies, multiple entities, and group structures – ensuring everything is set up correctly from the start.

Key Benefits

Partnering with us for company registration delivers real advantages that go beyond just filing forms. Here's what you can expect:

We prepare and submit every form correctly – including all required consents – so your application isn't delayed or rejected. No back‑and‑forth with government portals.

Every director must have their own director ID before appointment. We provide step‑by‑step guidance through the application process – so nothing holds up your registration.

We don't stop at ASIC registration. We secure your company's ABN and TFN immediately after incorporation, so you're ready to trade, invoice, and open bank accounts without delay.

We assess your projected turnover and register you for GST when required, and set up PAYG withholding before you hire your first employee – so you're fully compliant from day one.

We explain your annual obligations – ASIC annual statements, BAS lodgments, and company tax returns – so you always know what's due and when. No surprises.

With every registration completed correctly and every legal requirement met, you can launch your company with complete confidence – knowing you're fully compliant with ASIC and the ATO.
