Tax Stuff is the go-to accounting partner for many respected businesses across the Central Coast. Our experienced team of CPA-qualified accountants ensure your BAS lodgements are accurate, timely, and fully compliant with ATO requirements. With a deep knowledge of local business needs and industry best practices, you can rely on us for expert support in all areas of business accounting. To successfully lodge your BAS, you’ll need to report on the following key areas:
GST is a broad-based tax on most goods & services consumed in Australia. We help you track & report credits & payments to the ATO.
We calculate PAYG instalments, so you prepay tax based on income, helping you stay on top of obligations all year round.
We help manage other tax obligations like Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT), ensuring nothing is missed in your BAS reporting.
We manage PAYG withholding, reporting and paying tax on wages to ensure you're compliant and avoid end-of-year surprises.
A Business Activity Statement (BAS) is a form that businesses registered for Goods and Services Tax (GST) in Australia must lodge with the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). As a result, the BAS helps businesses report and pay their GST, Pay As You Go (PAYG) instalments, PAYG withholding tax, and other taxes in a proactive fashion. Therefore, when a business registers for an Australian Business Number (ABN) and GST, the ATO automatically requests a BAS when it is time to lodge.
The due date for lodging a BAS depends on the business reporting cycle and whether it uses a registered tax agent. For businesses that lodge BAS quarterly, the due date is typically the 28th of the month following the end of the quarter. However, if a business uses a registered tax agent they are given an extra month to lodge. For example, the BAS for the quarter ending in December is usually due on the 28th of January. But for businesses that use a registered tax agent it would typically be the 28th of February for the same period. Businesses that lodge online without the help of a professional may receive an additional two weeks to lodge and pay, but this should be first checked with the ATO directly.

Yes! We proudly support businesses of all sizes. From solo entrepreneurs to large, multi-entity operations. No matter the scale, we tailor our accounting, advisory, and tax services to suit your needs and help you achieve your goals.
Even if a business has nothing to report, it must still lodge a ‘nil’ BAS. This can be done online or by phone using an automated service.
If a business is unable to lodge or pay on time, it should engage with the ATO early to discuss available options. The ATO provides support for businesses facing difficulties in lodging and paying on time.
If a mistake is made on a paper BAS, businesses can use white-out to make changes. For online lodgements, businesses can review and correct their BAS before submitting it.
You can lodge your BAS yourself using ATO’s online services, but many businesses choose to work with a registered BAS or tax agent to ensure accuracy, maximise credits, and reduce risk of penalties.
Tax Stuff provides expert BAS preparation and lodgement services, ensuring your business stays compliant while you focus on running your business. We’re trusted by businesses across the Central Coast.
