When is the Annual Information Statement due?

The Annual Information Statement (AIS) is due at different times for different charities. The due date depends on a charity's reporting period.

A charity's AIS and financial report (if required) must be submitted within six months of the end of the charity’s reporting period.

The two most common reporting due dates are:

  • 31 December for charities that report to a regular financial year (1 July to 30 June)
  • 30 June for charities that report to a calendar year (1 January to 31 December).

Use the table below as guide to Annual Information Statement due dates. These dates apply to individual charities as well as ACNC-approved reporting groups.

You can check the due date for your charity’s Annual Information Statement on the ACNC Charity Register.

Different reporting periods

The standard ACNC reporting period is the financial year, 1 July to 30 June.

If your charity uses a different reporting period, you need to formally request to use this for the charity's Annual Information Statement. And we need to approve this request.

You only need to request a different reporting period once, though. You do not need to submit a new request each year.

Information for newly registered charities

If your charity was registered within three months of the end of its reporting period, there are two options for submitting an Annual Information Statement. Either:

  • submit an Annual Information Statement that reports on the time left in the charity’s current reporting period (which would be three months or less), or
  • wait until the next reporting period and submit an Annual Information Statement that reports on the 12-15 months that the charity has been registered.

For example, if the end of your charity’s reporting period is 30 June 2022, and it was registered with the ACNC on 5 April 2022, you can either:

  • submit an Annual Information Statement that reports on the period 5 April 2022 – 30 June 2022 (2 months and 26 days), or
  • submit an Annual Information Statement that reports on the period 5 April 2022 – 30 June 2023 (14 months and 26 days).

If you choose to report for three months or less:

  • the financial information you provide can be for the full year or for just the period the charity has been operating
  • the charity will be able to report a standard 12-month period in the following year.
