Well - they are charging 10.26% MORE for every Registered Company Annual Return from 1 July 2022
(based on increased overall fee but real increase on their slice is far far greater as in double plus)

Perhaps that means a 10.26% pay rise for every FMA Bod in a seat, or twice that

and/or possibly 10.26% more backsides parked up in FMA seats ? ;)

or perhaps they just need 10.26% backsides in back office admin seats to count the coin coming in ..

Of course this rake-off extends to all NZX Companies with addition of filing Financial Statements too


But wait - the FMA Portion ripped out of every Company Return Fee is currently a mere $20.00 GST Inc.
So I'll leave it to some other bright sparks to extract what new FMA pound of flesh will be and the true
rate of increase over the old $20.00 :)


20-25% increase in the FMA Rake Off anyone ?


Other benefactors out of the Annual Return Skim Off by NZ Companies Office are currently -

Insolvency Practitioner Levy $1.15 (GST Inc)

External Reporting Board Levy $6.90 (GST Inc)

obviously the last two were too slow getting their increase wishlists in or got told to go back into hiding :)



News of this increase is brought to all from the same Labour who in Cullen's time decided
that there would be No Company Annual Return fees due for the 8 or 10 years - not a cent :)
