Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

1. What is a Business Activity Statement (BAS), and who needs to lodge it?

A BAS is a form businesses use to report and pay various taxes to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO), including GST, PAYG withholding, and other taxes. Businesses registered for GST must lodge BAS, either monthly, quarterly, or annually, depending on their reporting obligations.

2. What services are included in BAS preparation and lodgement?

BAS preparation services include calculating GST on sales and purchases, PAYG withholding, PAYG installments, and any other reportable tax obligations. Accountants ensure the accuracy of the information and lodge the BAS on behalf of the business with the ATO.

3. How do I know if my business needs to register for GST?

You must register for GST if your business has a turnover of $75,000 or more annually (or $150,000 for non-profit organizations). Even if you don’t meet this threshold, you can voluntarily register for GST to claim credits for GST paid on purchases.

4. What are the penalties for late BAS or tax lodgement?

If you fail to lodge your BAS or tax returns by the due date, the ATO may impose fines or penalties, and interest charges may accrue on any unpaid amounts. It is important to meet all tax deadlines to avoid these penalties.

5.Can I claim GST on all my business expenses?

You can claim GST credits on expenses directly related to your business, provided you hold valid tax invoices for the purchases. However, there are some exceptions, such as certain entertainment expenses or purchases used for both business and private purposes.
