Scope and registration workflow · NBR Guide v1.2
Is my group in scope, and how do I register?
Answer five points without entering names, identifiers or amounts. You receive a starting route, not a binding decision or tax computation.
Unusual periods, mergers, demergers, dual residence, PEs and exclusions require full facts. This result does not replace an NBR decision or specialist advice.
Identify the registration or update clock
Which deadline applies?
Separate a group's first registration from an update to an existing registration; do not automatically use incorporation for a newly established entity.
Choose a scenario and enter the date where needed
The calculated date will appear here without storing it.
Foreign branch: later production permits do not delay the clock.
New joint venture: the NBR's published example.
Change to a registered group: update the details within 30 days.
