Complex regulations. One team who knows them.

We understand the reporting obligations attached to every Employee Share Scheme, and we keep your business compliant with them, year after year.

Everything your ESS reporting depends on.

A complete reporting service for domestic and international companies with Australian employees, covering every stage from tax event to lodgement.

  • Annual tax event reporting
    Any company, wherever it is based, that provides an ESS to Australian employees must report on relevant tax events each year. We manage that obligation on your behalf.
  • Employee ESS statements
    Clear, accurate statements produced for every employee, giving them what they need to complete their tax return without confusion or delay.
  • Statement dissemination
    Statements reach every employee directly, so the process ends with a document in their hands, not lost in an inbox or left for you to chase.
  • ESS annual report and ATO lodgement
    Your ESS annual report prepared and lodged with the Australian Tax Office, accurately and on time, every year.

Reporting you can rely on completely.

The reasons companies trust Registry Direct with their ESS reporting obligations.

  • Reporting built on the right technology
    Our systems produce your report in the exact specification the ATO requires, efficiently and compliantly.
  • A simplified reporting process
    One team manages the full reporting cycle, from tax event to lodgement, so ESS reporting no longer sits on your shoulders.
  • Knowledge that stays current
    Our systems and expertise stay aligned with tax legislation, reporting requirements and digital lodgement specifications, so your obligations are always met correctly.
  • Accuracy built on your data
    Working from the data you supply, we ensure your reporting is correct, complete and audit-ready.
