The GST Service has been updated to include the Treasury Laws Amendment (Strengthening Financial Systems and Other Measures) Act 2025 (Cth) (Act No 72 of 2025).

This Act amends the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (the Corporations Act), the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth), and the law relating to charities, taxation and the Financial Regulator Assessment Authority; and makes minor and technical amendments to Treasury portfolio legislation. 

The amendments made by this Act to the Corporations Act aim to enhance the beneficial ownership disclosure obligations that already apply to entities listed on Australia's financial markets. These amendments seek to bolster the substantial holding and tracing notice regimes that govern the disclosure of beneficially owned interests in listed entities.

These amendments have been updated in the Point-in-Time GST Service current to 15 January 2026 (NB: subscription required).
