You need to lodge your annual financial information to the QBC by the required reporting day. This reporting day is based off the reporting period the licensee reported last annual report (i.e. if reported from 01/01/2019 to 31/12/2019 then the reporting period must be 01/01/2020 to 31/12/2020). You can change this by applying with QBCC.
If you have missed your annual reporting due date you will need to submit your annual financial information as soon as possible.
MR is the total calculated income that an entity can do in any given financial year. This figure is calculated on your calculated Net Tangible Asset Position through the MFR Report. Note that if your actual revenue is 10% more or less than the Maximum Revenue listed with the QBCC then a new MFR report is to be lodged to present the new MR position.

This particular report is required to be given to the QBCC by licensees in the following circumstances: 1. when you apply for a new licence (Category 1 upwards); 2. If your NTA position decreases by more than 20% for Category 4-7 licensees and 30% for all other licensees; 3. If you no longer meet the minimum current ratio of at least 1:1; 3. If your MR needs adjusting (you must not exceed your MR by more than 10% in each financial year).
