Do you need help preparing or lodging your Business Activity Statement?

Preparing and lodging Business Activity Statement return can be a challenging task, particularly if you have recently commenced a business or don't use a computerised accounting system.

The due date for lodging and paying will be printed on your BAS, but as a guide, if you report monthly the first two months of each quarter are due on the 21st of the following month. But the last end-of-quarter month is due on particular dates, as follows:

Please Note: If a standard due date falls on a weekend or a public holiday, treat the deadlines as being the next business day.


Your activity statement is used to report (where applicable) your obligations for:

• deferred company instalments
• goods and services tax (GST)
• fuel tax credits
• fringe benefits tax (FBT) instalments,
• luxury car tax (LCT)
• pay-as-you-go (PAYG) withholding and instalments and
• wine equalisation tax (WET).

We put together all your transactions for the quarter and prepare a summary BAS for your review. We then carefully examine the records, ensuring all GST input credits are recorded before preparing a final Business Activity Statement. A qualified Accountant then checks the BAS for accuracy and then we can either lodge it for you or you can lodge your BAS
