Business Activity Statement (BAS)

Do you understand the GST, PAYG and PAYG Instalment components of an Activity Statement? What is the difference between GST Free and BAS Excluded?

When compliance falls due, we'll run a review of your transactions to ensure consistent and accurate GST has been captured. We’re not just filing a bunch of numbers, we take a 6 step approach to our BAS service.

1. Create a recurring task in our job management system so we never miss a deadline and begin work on your BAS within 14 days after the end of the reporting period.
2. Carry out an audit of all expenses for the period by checking that GST has been claimed on every bill that it should have been and conversely that it hasn't been claimed where it shouldn't have been.
3. Carry out an audit of all income for the period to ensure that GST has been included on every sales invoice that it should have been and conversely that it hasn't been included where it shouldn't have been.
4. Balance your PAYG liabilities with the underlying pay runs for the period.
5. Send notification of the amount due within 21 days of the end of the reporting period with a request to electronically sign your BAS.
6. Lodge your BAS with the ATO on time.
