Business Activity Statements (BAS)

If your business is registered for GST (goods and services tax), you are required to lodge a business activity statement (BAS) to the Australian Tax Office.

Due to the complexity, we can assist you in preparing your BAS including the following:

  • goods and services tax (GST)
  • pay as you go (PAYG) instalments
  • PAYG withholding tax
  • other taxes

In submitting your BAS, you have to make sure that all information stated is correct. With our help, we will ensure that we have all the accurate info to avoid nasty penalties.

Also, depending on whether you are lodging your BAS monthly or quarterly, you have to make sure you make your payment on time.

Apart from working on your BAS, we can take care of submitting the statements to the ATO on your behalf whenever deadlines arise.

Superannuation

As arranged by the government, businesses have the responsibility to contribute to their employees’ superannuation fund.

A Superannuation or “super” fund is meant to be reserved for the employees’ retirement in the future.

Business owners or employees are required to contribute a minimum of 9.5% of an employee’s ordinary time earnings. And these contributions are referred to as “superannuation guarantee”.

For some businesses, working on their employees’ superannuation, most especially if they have a significant number of staff can be an additional bookkeeping responsibility that they simply do not have the time nor the head for.
