As a QBCC licence holder, you may have received a letter from the Queensland Building and Construction Commission (QBCC) notifying the licence holder of the new annual reporting requirements.
If your business annual turnover is less than $30 million, the financial information is required to be submitted with the QBCC by 31 December 2019.
Why is this happening?
The submission of financial information will help QBCC determine if the business is financially sustainable and meets QBCC licence minimum financial requirements.
What is required to be submitted?
Financial Information such as:
- Profit and Loss Statements
- Balance Sheet
- Debtors and Creditors Report
- Statement of Cashflows
Please note based on the above information submitted, QBCC will work out if you meet the minimum financial requirements applicable to your licence. The licence holder must meet a current ratio of 1:1 (total current assets / total current liabilities) and hold a minimum amount of net tangible assets required for the maximum revenue allowed under the licence held for Licence Category 1 and above.

How should this information be submitted?
The required information can be lodged by logging into myQBCC section on the QBCC website; however, we strongly advise to have an accountant from our team review the information being submitted so that we can ascertain that the minimum financial requirements are met.
What happens if I submit information which does not meet the minimum financial requirements?
QBCC reviews the information submitted on a case to case basis; however, failure to meet minimum financial requirements for your QBCC licence category may result in suspension and ultimately cancellation of the QBCC licence.
