What clients say
Why BAS Services Matter
Business Activity Statements (BAS) are a legal requirement for GST-registered businesses. They report key obligations such as:
- GST collected and paid
- PAYG withholding and instalments
- Other ATO obligations (wine equalisation tax, fringe benefits tax, etc.)
Mistakes or late lodgements can result in fines, penalties, and unnecessary stress. The ATO’s Failure to Lodge on Time penalty starts at $330 and increases by an additional $330 for each 28 days the BAS is overdue, up to a maximum of $1,650 for small businesses. On top of that, interest may apply to any unpaid amounts. Partnering with a local registered BAS agent gives you peace of mind, knowing everything is managed professionally and lodged on time. So you avoid costly penalties and focus on running your business.
