What we do

BAS preparation and lodgement, done properly

A business activity statement is only as good as the records behind it. We focus on record accuracy, correct GST reporting, and a clean reconciliation process so your BAS ties back to your actual financial records.

That keeps business compliance under control and reduces pressure around compliance deadlines because the file is prepared before lodgement time.

We can support:

  • GST calculation and GST reporting checks
  • PAYG withholding (where payroll is included in your reporting cycle)
  • PAYG instalments (sometimes referred to as 'PAYG summary' by business owners), reported via BAS or an instalment activity statement depending on your setup
  • BAS lodgement with the Australian Taxation Office once your file is ATO-ready

If your obligations sit on an IAS rather than a BAS, we can help with IAS lodgement as well.

Who needs to lodge a BAS

Do you need to lodge a BAS?

If your business is registered for GST, you're required to lodge a business activity statement with the ATO. This applies whether you trade as a sole trader, partnership, company, or trust.

You likely need to lodge if:

  • Your business turns over $75,000 or more per year (or $150,000 for not-for-profits)
  • You've voluntarily registered for GST
  • You have PAYG withholding obligations for employees or contractors
  • You're required to pay PAYG instalments on business or investment income
  • You operate through an ABN and collect GST on sales

Not sure if BAS applies to your situation? We can review your setup and confirm what's required during a free consultation.

Lodgement cycle

Monthly or quarterly BAS, built around your reporting cycle

Whether you lodge quarterly BAS or run a monthly reporting cycle, the goal is the same: keep your financial admin current so lodgement deadlines don't become emergencies.

Keeping the cycle consistent also improves business reporting and cash flow visibility, because your coding and reconciliations stay current instead of being fixed at the last minute.

We'll align the workflow to your business systems, volume, and deadlines, then keep the process consistent so each BAS is smoother than the last.
