Changes to the Minimum Financial Requirements have been implemented in two stages.

Phase 1:

  • began on 1 January 2019
  • re-introduced mandatory annual reporting for all licensees
  • changed reporting decreases in Net Tangible Assets
  • clarified how assets are to be treated.

Phase 2:

  • began on 2 April 2019
  • introduced higher reporting standards for category 4-7 licensees, along with the remainder of the reforms.

 What does this mean?

  •  It is imperative that you co-ordinate with us to complete your 2019 tax work well before this date.

Remember:

  • Licensees may be required to provide additional information to substantiate deeds and related party loans;
  • Increased penalties and enforcement action for licensees that do not comply with the new requirements;
  • Licensees will be required to provide annual financial information.

Changes to self-certification category 2 (SC2)

  • The SC2 licensee revenue limit has now increased to $800,000;
  • If you have a turnover of between $600,000 and $800,000 and are relying on a deed of covenant and assurance to meet your net tangible assets (NTA) you can continue to rely on your deed until 31 December 2019;
  • The minimum NTA required for the SC2 category has increased from $36,000 to $46,000 from 2 April 2019.
  • You have until 31 December 2019 to submit the required self-declaration form to the QBCC that shows how you meet this requirement.

The MFR Regulation contains stronger reporting requirements requiring licensees to report significant decreases in Net Tangible Assets (NTA).

  • For licence categories SC1, SC2 and Categories 1-3, the current reporting requirements will continue.
    • That is, you are required to report (via a declaration for SC1 and 2 and a report for categories 1-3) where your NTA position decreases by more than 30% below your most recent QBCC accepted NTA position.
  • For licence categories 4-7, there are now higher reporting standards.
    • The reporting requirements (to provide an MFR Report) apply where your NTA position decreases by more than 20% below your most recent QBCC accepted NTA position.

The following table provides a summary of your annual reporting requirements.
