BUSINESS ACTIVITY STATEMENTS (BAS)/ GST REPORTING:

We have seen businesses overstretch themselves with no money left to pay to the ATO in lieu of GST/PAYG liabilities. Bookkeeping Victoria understands your statutory obligations and will implement a system that monitors your cash flow. It is very important to closely monitor the timing of transactions taking place, which included receipts and payments (receivables and payables), short term and long term liabilities to ensure that you always have some money to meet your ATO/GST/PAYG/Superfund obligations and urgent business needs.

Following is a basic concept how to prepare your Business Activity Report:
Accounts Receivable GST (on Sales) + PAYG (Employees Wages Tax Deductions) - Accounts Payable (Creditors) GST = Amount Payable or Refund to ATO.
We prepare Business Activity Report (BAS) / IAS and calculate the correct GST on all the transactions.
