In New Zealand: NZ$10.22 to reserve the name (a necessary prerequisite), NZ$153.33 to register the company (total cost ~ US$126.50). There are no fees or taxes due for companies with no income.
Companies are legally required to file an annual return to the companies office (there are no fees for online filings). Annual returns can be as simple as confirming company details, stating the date of the AGM, and indicating a resolution not to appoint an auditor was passed.
Tax returns (and company tax payments as a percentage of before-tax profit) are required by a separate government department if any income is earned, but not if no income is earned.
Name changes cost $10.22. Changes to the company addresses, director details / addresses, or shareholder details / addresses must be notified by law (changing the details online is free).
