Deregister a Company with 6010 Form

Use the Change Company Status wizard to generate a 6010 form to voluntarily deregister an public or proprietary company in Australia.

When an Australian public or proprietary company applies for voluntary deregistration, a form 6010 is generated. In Diligent Entities, only a company can act as applicant for the deregistration process. As this is the case, an individual must be nominated to receive notification of deregistration.

1. Open the company record.

2. Select Wizards > Other Changes > Change Company Status to open the wizard.

   Alternatively, you can use the wand for Company Status in the Main Details section.

3. On the New Status page of the wizard, select deregistered as company status and specify the date the change comes into effect. Select Next.

4. On the Select Entity page, select a nominee and select Next.

5. On the Voluntary Deregistration Declarations page, select the checkbox to declare that the statements listed are correct for your company. Select Next.

6. On the Actions page, select an action and select the Select signatory for documents and forms option to move on to enter signatory details. Select Next.

   Alternatively, clear the Select signatory for documents and forms checkbox to enter signatory details after the form has been generated.

   Note

   The Select signatory for documents and forms option is only available if the administrator set up the system to prompt for a signatory in event wizards. Refer to Enable Signatory Page in Event Wizards for more information.

7. On the Signatory page, select a signatory and enter the date of the signing and select the capacity in which the signatory signs. Select Next.

8. On the Documents page, select the document title to view, edit, or email the generated 6010 form.

9. On the Finish page, select the 6010 form and select Other Options under the table. From the options that display, select Efile documents to electronically file the form.

   You can also e-file the form later by going to Documents in the company record, selecting the document, and choosing Wizards > Efile documents.

   The document is processed for e-filing. If there are any gaps in required information, the system lists them and the e-filing process fails. If there are no areas to address, the document is e-filed and the system displays a Completed status. The form is available under Working Documents with Verified and Queued status.

10. After you completed the Efile Document wizard, go to Working Documents > Electronic Filing and select the Send & Receive option to send the document you just e-filed to the ASIC.

    The company record is update with the new deregistered status.
