Next Director Identification Number (DIN) requirement
We have made aware in past blogs of the staged requirement for directors to apply for and hold a Director Identification Number (DIN).
As of Monday night, we now enter the next DIN stage.
From Tuesday 5th April, a first time director of an Australian company must have been issued with their DIN before they apply to become a director.
Those directors that were directors before November 2021 still have until October 2022 to apply for their DIN. But please don’t leave it until the last minute, particularly if you want to apply by paper!
Warning
Those first time directors since October 2021 have 28 days to apply for their DIN. Those that have not applied for one are now being actively reminded. It is good that there has been a gently, gently approach as the fines are eye watering.
Please find following the DIN registration link.
Due to privacy reasons, we are prohibited from applying on your behalf – yes it does seem odd given we apply for personal Tax File Numbers and handled passports and drivers licences when applying for various state covid grants.
That said, we welcome any query you may have.
