UNDERSTANDING YOUR BUSINESS

Support that starts with understanding.

If your business is registered for GST, you will generally need to report GST and other relevant amounts to the Australian Taxation Office through a Business Activity Statement.

The figures reported on your BAS come from your accounting records.

That's why good bookkeeping and correct GST treatment are so important.

Why Does It Matter?

BAS isn't something you want to discover at the last minute.

Keeping your records current helps you understand:

how much GST you've collected
how much GST you may be able to claim
PAYG withholding amounts

PAYG instalments where applicable
what you may need to pay to the ATO.

It can also help you plan your cash flow instead of being surprised when a payment becomes due.

Our BAS & GST services may suit:

sole traders
companies
trusts
partnerships

GST-registered businesses

USEFUL ANSWERS

Common Questions

How often will I lodge a BAS?

That depends on your circumstances and reporting cycle. Many small businesses report quarterly, although monthly and annual reporting can also apply.

What if my bookkeeping isn't ready?

We can first look at the accounting records and identify what needs to be completed or corrected.

Can you explain why I owe the ATO money?

Yes. We believe understanding the figures is important. We can explain the main amounts making up the BAS and where they have come from.
