Simplify Your BAS Lodgement and Tax Compliance

What is BAS?

A Business Activity Statement (BAS) is a crucial form that businesses in Australia must submit to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) on a regular basis. This form is used to report and pay various tax obligations, including:

Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Pay As You Go (PAYG) withholding
PAYG instalments
Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT) instalments
Other applicable taxes (such as Luxury Car Tax, Fuel Tax and Wine Equalisation Tax)

The frequency of lodgement can vary, typically being monthly, quarterly, or annually, depending on your business’s turnover and specific ATO requirements. 

Note: If your business is registered for GST you must lodge BAS statements in line with the ATO's requirements.  

You may also need to lodge BAS statements if you’re not registered for GST but have any of the above tax obligations

Why is tax compliance important for your business?

Tax Compliance is vital to running a successful business. Firstly, it ensures you are running an operationally sound and legal business in the eyes of the ATO. Secondly, managing your tax compliance means you will have more data to determine whether you are making the right business decisions in growing your business.

What are tax reporting requirements?

In most circumstances, there will be at least an annual reporting requirement, with regards to your Income Tax. Additionally, if you are registered for other tax registrations like Goods and services tax (GST), Pay as you go (PAYG), and Fringe benefits tax (FBT), your reporting requirements will require additional quarterly or annual reporting to the ATO.
