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. Message us if you want a second opinion on your setup.

Your July to September BAS has three possible due dates. Only one of them is yours.
28 October if you lodge on paper.
11 November if you lodge it yourself online. The two week concession is automatic, you do not apply for it.
25 November if you lodge through a registered BAS or tax agent.

We prepare and lodge BAS returns for our clients. Message us so we can assist you.

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 an experienced consultant look after your bookkeeping.

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, contact 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.
