QBCC Licences & Annual Reporting

In Queensland, businesses operating in the building and construction industry that hold a license with the Queensland Building and Construction Commission (QBCC) are subject to annual reporting requirements. These requirements are aimed at ensuring compliance with industry regulations and maintaining transparency in business operations.

The regulations outline what minimum financial requirements must be met to ensure a contractor-type licensee has a strong and financially sustainable business with an appropriate level of working capital.  The QBCC sets a contractor's:

• allowable annual turnover—maximum revenue
• as determined by their working capital—net tangible assets
• in relation to their debts—current ratio.

The annual reporting obligations typically include the submission of financial statements, such as profit and loss statements and balance sheets, to the QBCC. These financial statements provide insight into the financial health and performance of the business over the past year.

Failure to meet these annual reporting requirements or demonstrate compliance with regulatory standards can result in penalties, fines, or suspension or revocation of the QBCC license. Therefore, it is essential for businesses in the building and construction industry to fulfill their annual reporting obligations accurately and in a timely manner to maintain their license and uphold their reputation within the industry.
