Behind on BAS? Fix it in this order, not the order the ATO letters arrive in.
1. Lodge, even if you cannot pay. Lodgement penalties run separately from the debt and they stop the day you lodge.
2. Call the ATO for a payment plan before they call you. A plan you request is approved far more often than one negotiated after a demand.
3. Reconcile the oldest quarter first, then work forward. Late BAS built on unreconciled bank totals gets amended later, which costs twice.
We take on catch-up BAS as a fixed-price project, so you know the number before we start. Message us for a quote.
