Why Is BAS Lodgement Crucial for Australian Businesses?
BAS lodgement might feel like a hassle, but it’s critical to staying compliant, financially healthy, and ready for growth. At Elite Plus, our BAS agents take the stress out of the process with timely, accurate, and ATO-compliant lodgement support.
Here’s why timely BAS lodgement matters:
1. Avoid ATO Penalties
Lodging your BAS late can trigger “Failure to Lodge” penalties:
- Small Businesses: 1 unit per 28 days overdue (max 5 units)
- Medium Entities: 2x the small business penalty
- Large Entities: 5x the small business penalty
Even if you had no business activity, you must still lodge a nil return to stay compliant.
2. Build Credibility with Banks & Lenders
Banks often request BAS records when assessing loan applications. On-time BAS lodgement shows financial responsibility and can:
- Boost your credibility
- Help secure better loan terms
- Speed up application approvals
3. Maintain Healthy Cash Flow
Regular BAS lodgement supports smart financial planning:
- Predictable Tax Payments: Avoid large, surprise tax bills
- Better Budgeting: Keep track of income, expenses, and business performance
Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to process BAS?
The timing of your BAS lodgement depends on when you provide all the necessary financial information and documentation. Once we have everything needed, we usually prepare and lodge your BAS within 1 to 3 business days. Lodgement is done through the ATO’s secure Tax Agent Portal, ensuring your BAS is submitted promptly and on time.
How do you ensure the security of my financial information?
Protecting your financial data is a top priority for us. We use secure, encrypted systems that comply with ATO and industry standards. Access to your information is limited strictly to authorised team members, and we maintain rigorous confidentiality protocols throughout the entire process to keep your data safe.
Do I need software for BAS lodgement?
No, but using accounting software can make BAS preparation easier and reduce errors. You can lodge directly through the ATO Business Portal or through software with Standard Business Reporting (SBR) capability if preferred.
Do I get a lodgement advice or receipt for BAS?
Yes. Once you lodge your BAS, the ATO provides a confirmation or receipt. This acts as proof of lodgment and includes the date, time, and reference number for your records.
How do you ensure compliance with ATO regulations?
We stay current with ATO requirements and lodge BAS on time using accurate, up-to-date financial data. Our team reviews your records carefully, ensures correct GST and PAYG reporting, and uses secure systems to submit lodgments.
How can I lodge my BAS online?
You can lodge your BAS online using the ATO’s Online Services for business, SBR-enabled accounting software, or through a registered BAS or tax agent. Each method ensures secure and efficient submission.
How often should I lodge BAS?
Most businesses lodge quarterly, but some lodge monthly or annually, depending on their GST turnover.
What’s the difference between BAS and IAS?
BAS (Business Activity Statement) covers GST, PAYG, and other obligations. The IAS (Instalment Activity Statement) is used by businesses not registered for GST to report PAYG instalments or withholding only.
What is the difference between a BAS agent and a tax agent?
BAS agents handle BAS-related matters like GST, PAYG, and super reporting. Tax agents cover broader tax advice and income tax returns. Both must be registered with the Tax Practitioners Board.
Can I lodge my BAS myself?
Yes. If you’re confident managing your GST and PAYG reporting, you can lodge your BAS through the ATO’s portal. Just make sure your records are accurate and submitted on time. But you can also consult with professionals such as Elite Plus to take the pressure off you.
How does BAS work?
BAS is a form businesses use to report GST, PAYG withholding, PAYG instalments, and other taxes to the ATO. Lodging it regularly ensures your tax obligations are met throughout the year.
What is the penalty for late BAS lodgement?
If you file your BAS lodgement late, the ATO will impose a Failure to Lodge (FTL) penalty. The fine depends on the period in which the infringement occurred and the size of the business. For small entities, it is calculated at one penalty unit per 28 days after the BAS is overdue, with a maximum of five units. A medium to large business would attract a higher penalty.
Consistent late lodgement can also prompt severe consequences, such as audits or interest charges on unpaid amounts. To avoid this, it’s critical to lodge your BAS on time. You can also use a reliable online BAS lodgement service to help you scale through the hassles.
