Do I need to lodge a BAS?

Most businesses with an Australian Business Number (ABN) must lodge a BAS. If you're registered for GST or have employees, you definitely need to lodge. We can confirm your BAS obligations during a consultation.

How often do I need to lodge a BAS?

Most businesses lodge a BAS quarterly (every 3 months). Some large businesses may lodge monthly. We'll confirm your lodgement frequency based on your business structure.

What happens if I lodge my BAS late?

Late lodgement can result in penalties and interest charges. The ATO takes BAS compliance seriously. We ensure your BAS is always lodged on time.

Can you amend a BAS I've already lodged?

Yes, if you discover errors in a previously lodged BAS, we can help you lodge an amended BAS with the ATO.

What if I receive an ATO audit notice?

If you receive an ATO inquiry or audit notice related to your BAS, we can represent you and help you respond to the ATO.

How much does BAS preparation cost?

BAS preparation is included in our bookkeeping packages. If you only need BAS preparation without ongoing bookkeeping, we can provide a quote for standalone BAS service.

What is a Business Activity Statement (BAS)?
