BUSINESS ACTIVITY STATEMENTS
Failure to lodge a BAS on time can result in costly fines.
Keeping on top of BAS and IAS lodgements
Business Activity Statements (BAS) and Instalment Activity Statements (IAS) come around quickly. Getting these submitted accurately and on time is often difficult for business owners whose time is already stretched. If you’re just starting out, the two common regular ATO reporting requirements for business are:
- Business Activity Statement (BAS) – reports business tax obligations, including GST, Pay as You Go (PAYG) instalments, PAYG withholding and Fringe Benefits Tax. A BAS is compulsory for businesses registered for GST. You must register for GST if your business turns over more than $75,000 per year.
- Instalment Activity Statement (IAS) – reports the amounts withheld from your employee’s wages and salaries (PAYG). The IAS form is prepared on a month to month basis. This is also included on a quarterly BAS form.
