Compliance checklist

You will need
- Your business structure and state
- Whether you have employees, and a rough idea of turnover
How it works
Each obligation has a rule about when it applies (for example GST registration at $75,000 GST turnover, payroll obligations only with employees). Your answers select the items and show how often each one comes up.
Assumptions
- Covers common federal obligations plus state payroll tax and workers compensation links.
- Requirements reviewed on 6 November 2026; rules and thresholds change.
Limitations
- General information, not legal, tax or accounting advice, and not a complete list: industry licences and local council rules vary. Confirm with business.gov.au, the ATO or your adviser.
