Spike in PPSR Registrations due to Expire

Earlier this week, AFSA released their PPSR statistics for the 2018 June quarter.

While there’s not much that’s particularly surprising in the statistics (which you can find here) there is a new addition to the format, in that AFSA has now provided information regarding the number of registrations due to expire in the next 18 months.


I’ve drawn up a quick chart based on the figures, in as much as they relate to ‘Other Goods’ registrations (the type of registration most appropriate to the majority of trade credit suppliers):


While the picture from March 2019 onwards looks as we might have expected, this is preceded by a huge spike in expiries in January 2019, surrounded by high levels of expiring registrations from October to February.

While the last two days of January 2012 saw the start of the Register (and the previous three months a few waves of advanced registrations and migrations from other registers) I’m surprised that the registration activity that took place at those times didn’t concern itself, almost exclusively, with transitional registrations with an indefinite expiry.  As someone very closely involved with thousands of bulk registrations in those early weeks of the register, virtually all were lodged as indefinite transitional registrations.

However, clearly there were a great many registrations being lodged for only 7 years and these are now coming up for renewal.

I'll shortly be following up this post with a step by step guide to renewing registrations on the PPSR.
