Director IDs - There is still time
Are you yet to apply for your director identification number (director ID)? You must apply personally. As your advisor, we cannot apply on your behalf. However, we can assist with any questions you may have, for example, around eligibility etc.
If you missed the deadline, you could still apply. The ATO says it will take a reasonable approach with directors who are trying to do the right thing. Directors who need additional time to apply (beyond 14 December 2022) can request an extension of time by completing an Application.
To recap, a director ID is a unique 15‑digit identifier that a company director will apply for once and keep forever. By allowing regulators to trace directors’ relationships with companies over time, director IDs will help prevent illegal activity and level the playing field for businesses.
Director IDs are administered by the Australian Business Registry Services (ABRS), which the ATO manages.
