FAQ

Bookkeeping Help Desk: FAQs

A BAS (Business Activity Statement) is a report you lodge with the Australian
Taxation Office to declare the GST you’ve collected and paid, along with other tax obligations. Once your business, whether you’re a sole trader, company, partnership or trust reaches $75,000 or charity, $150,000 in annual turnover, you must register for GST and start lodging BAS.

Your BAS may include: 

  • GST collected on sales and paid on expenses
  • PAYG withholding if you have employees
  • PAYG instalments, which the ATO may require you to pay to help spread out your income tax across the year

If applicable:

  • Fuel Tax Credits (FTC)
  • Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT)
  • Luxury Car Tax (LCT)
  • Wine Equalisation Tax (WET)

Not all businesses need to report all of these. It depends on your industry and
activities. I can help you work out exactly what applies to you and make sure
everything is lodged accurately and on time.

Yes, you absolutely can lodge your own BAS. The ATO allows business owners to prepare and submit their own activity statements.
However, having a registered BAS Agent complete it for you gives you peace of mind that everything is accurate and compliant. If transactions are miscoded, you could:

  • Underpay your BAS, which may lead to ATO penalties or interest
  • Miss out on GST credits you’re entitled to
  • Accidentally report figures incorrectly without realising

A BAS Agent ensures your accounts are correct, your GST is treated properly, and your lodgement is done right the first time, saving you stress and potential ATO issues.

You will need to pay Instalments toward your Income tax using an IAS (Instalment Activity Statement)

An IAS (Instalment Activity Statement) is a form the ATO issues to businesses that aren’t registered for GST or that need to report PAYG withholding more frequently.
It’s used to pay instalments toward your income tax or, if you’re a medium withholder, to report PAYG tax withheld from employees.

You must keep your business receipts and invoices for 5 years. This is an ATO requirement and applies whether you’re a sole trader, company, partnership, or trust.
You can store your records in paper form or electronically. The ATO accepts both. Electronic storage is often easier because:

  •  It reduces the risk of losing paperwork
  • Digital copies don’t fade
  • They’re easier to organise and search
  • They can be backed up safely

Most businesses benefit from weekly to fortnightly bookkeeping. At a minimum it should be done monthly so your BAS, Payroll and cashflow stay on track.

Yes. Software is only as good as the information put into it. I make sure everything is coded correctly, reconciled properly, and compliant with ATO requirements.

A bookkeeper handles the financial day to day data and an Accountant uses that data to prepare tax returns and give higher level advice that a bookkeeper can’t. They work together hand in hand.

You must register once your turnover reaches $75,000 or $150,000 for a charity. Some businesses choose to register earlier or wait until they are getting close to this figure. I can help you decide what’s best.

Yes, as a registered BAS Agent I can prepare and lodge your BAS with the ATO

No stress. I can help clean up your accounts, get everything up to date and communicate with the ATO if needed.

A BAS Agent handles

  • GST
  • BAS
  • Payroll
  • Super 
  • Day to day bookkeeping.

Accountants handle

  • Tax returns
  • High level tax advice.

Payday Super means that by 1st July, 2026 you must pay your employees super on payday or within 7 days of payday.  If not, you may incur a Super Guarantee Charge which is a charge for late super which incurs extra penalties.   

Reconciliations ensure that all transactions are accounted for and catch any mistakes,errors, duplications or missing transactions before they become a big problem.

Regular reconciliations, clean coding and proper GST treatment ensure accuracy.

Improving cashflow starts with staying on top of your accounts receivable and payable, understanding your business expenses, and budgeting ahead for GST, PAYG, super and income tax obligations.

 

Regular bookkeeping and reviewing your figures can help identify where money is being spent, what payments are overdue, and how much needs to be set aside for upcoming obligations so there are no surprises.

 

I can also help you set up an Excel budget spreadsheet so you can compare your actual spending against your budgeted figures, helping you identify spending patterns and make informed decisions to better manage your cashflow.

Absolutely I can set up Xero for you even if you haven’t started your business yet or if you would like to transition to Xero from another software.

Yes, as a BAS Agent I can assist you with ABN, GST, PAYG-W and business registrations

You can upload them direct to Xero, email or text them to me, or use software like Hubdoc for DEXT.
