The July to September quarter closes on 30 September.
Your BAS, your super and your tax position all come off whatever the records say on that date.
Four things worth doing before month end:
🔹Reconcile everything up to 31 August
🔹Follow up the invoices that have gone quiet
🔹Check payroll matches what was actually paid
🔹Confirm which BAS due date applies to you
Contact us if you would rather hand it over.

The difference between stressful tax time and smooth tax time is usually simple.
Businesses that keep their books current throughout the year find lodgement straightforward.
Those that leave it until October are scrambling.
If you would rather be in the first group, message us.

The ATO requires businesses to keep financial records for at least five years.
That includes bank statements, receipts, invoices, payroll records and BAS documentation.
Many small business owners are not sure what they are keeping, where it is stored, or whether it would hold up under review.
We help clients stay organised and compliant all year round. Contact us.

GST errors are one of the most common reasons businesses get flagged by the ATO.
The ones I see most often:
⚙️ Incorrect GST settings in accounting software
📂 Claiming GST on expenses that are not eligible
📊 Transactions coded to the wrong category
💳 Missing records to support a claim
Accurate bookkeeping throughout the year means fewer errors at BAS time.
Contact us if you want a second opinion on your setup.

Monthly BAS is due on 21 August.
And from this year, the ATO is using expanded data-matching to automatically compare your BAS against other financial information.
Errors get flagged faster than before.
If your BAS is based on accurate, up-to-date bookkeeping, you have nothing to worry about. We prepare and lodge BAS for clients. Message me.
