BAS and GST

BAS support

Organisation of GST records and preparation assistance. Lodgement is available only through a verified registered BAS agent.

This service involves regulated work. It is not offered for purchase until the relevant registration is verified.

Who it suits

Businesses that need their GST coding and source documents organised for an activity statement, and that understand the difference between preparation and lodgement.

The problem it addresses

Activity statements depend on complete, coded records. A software total is not a professional review.

Included

• GST coding checks within the agreed period
• Collection of supporting documents
• Identification of missing records
• Preparation assistance inside the authorised scope
• Deadline reminders based on the period you confirm, not an invented due date

Excluded

• Lodgement by an unregistered staff member
• Tax planning advice
• A guarantee that a software figure is correct
• BAS agent services while registration is unverified

What you need to supply

• Reporting period
• GST settings
• Source records
• The name of any existing BAS or tax agent

How it is delivered

Bookkeeping staff can organise records. Review and lodgement are assigned only to a person covered by a verified registration, or left with your existing agent.

Pricing

Quoted separately. It is not switched on by buying a bookkeeping package.

Usually once per activity statement, or a recurring add-on if stated in the quote. The quote shows which.

Turnaround and dependencies

After the period's bookkeeping is complete and questions are answered. Lodgement timing follows the authorised practitioner, not an automatic submission.

• Completed coding for the period
• Verified authority before lodgement

When a person needs to assess the file

Required for complex GST, property, imports, or any period with material uncoded transactions.

Professional limits

Book-Keepers does not describe itself as a registered BAS agent unless that status is verified in the compliance register. Preparation assistance is not lodgement.

How to purchase

Request BAS support. The service cannot be checked out while the registration record is empty or unverified.
