Bas Agent Services For Brisbane Businesses
What is a BAS Agent?
A BAS Agent is a registered and qualified professional who is legally authorized to help businesses with their GST, PAYG withholding, PAYG instalments, and other reporting obligations to the ATO. In Australia, only registered BAS Agents or Tax Agents can legally charge a fee to provide these services.
Why Is A BAS Agent Important For Your Business?
1. Preparation and Lodgement of BAS
- Calculating your GST liabilities and refunds: Ensuring your Goods and Services Tax (GST) is correctly calculated, whether you are on a cash or accrual basis.
- Managing PAYG Withholding: Correctly calculating and reporting amounts withheld from employee wages and payments to other businesses.
- Handling PAYG Instalments: Calculating and reporting Pay As You Go (PAYG) income tax instalments for non-wage earners.
- Lodgement Extension: As a registered agent, we can often secure lodgement extensions from the ATO, giving you more time to manage your cash flow and gather necessary information.
2. General Bookkeeping Review
While our primary focus is the BAS, a large part of our service involves reviewing your underlying bookkeeping data to ensure the information used for the BAS is correct. This includes:
- Verifying GST coding on sales and purchases.
- Reviewing source documents for compliance.
- Ensuring correct reporting of transactions in your accounting software.
3. Payroll and Superannuation Support
We assist Brisbane businesses with compliance relating to their staff:
- Single Touch Payroll (STP): Ensuring your payroll reporting meets all ATO STP requirements.
- Superannuation Guarantee: Calculating and reporting mandatory employer superannuation contributions.
- Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT): Providing guidance and assistance with FBT reporting requirements, where applicable.
4. ATO Communication and Representation
Dealing with the ATO can be time-consuming. We act as an authorized intermediary on your behalf:
-
- Handling queries and correspondence from the ATO regarding your BAS.
- Representing your business during ATO audits or reviews related to GST or PAYG.
