Wow, I'm envious! It costs $433 to lodge a company registration with the ASIC in Australia. It's a bit more (mine cost $570) if you use an online service which can lodge electronically and generate all the documents you need for your company to be legal (i.e. forms for consent to act as a director, company constitution, share certificates, etc.)

FWIW it's around $130 AUD to lodge in New Zealand. Most Australian companies you do business with will treat you the same, plus: no software patents :)

Of course if you have complicated tax / revenue issues it's probably not worth the hassle.

That is much more expensive. I believe that the $50 fee is for filing online, so in 20 minutes with a credit card you can have confirmation paperwork.
