A Business Activity Statement (BAS) is a regular report that Australian businesses lodge with the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) to declare and pay various tax obligations. If your business is registered for GST or other periodic taxes, you’ll be required to lodge a BAS either monthly, quarterly, or annually. The BAS helps you report and remit taxes such as:
-
Goods and Services Tax (GST) – the 10% GST you collect on sales minus the GST you pay on business purchases. Businesses with an annual turnover of $75,000 or more must register for GST (for non-profits, $150,000). If you’re not required to register (below the threshold), you can choose to register voluntarily, but then you must lodge BAS statements.
-
Pay As You Go (PAYG) Withholding – the tax you withhold from payments to others, primarily employee wages. Employers are required to register for PAYG withholding and withhold tax from employee wages, remitting those amounts to the ATO. These withheld amounts are reported on the BAS.
-
PAYG Instalments – periodic income tax pre-payments on your business or investment income. If the ATO has you in the PAYG instalment system (often because you had a tax bill above a threshold in a previous year), your BAS will include a PAYG instalment amount to pay.
-
Other taxes – depending on your activities, your BAS can also cover things like Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT) instalments, Luxury Car Tax (LCT), Wine Equalisation Tax (WET), and fuel tax credits. Most small businesses will only deal with GST, PAYG withholding, and possibly PAYG instalments on their BAS.
The purpose of the BAS is to streamline tax compliance by allowing businesses to report and pay these obligations in one form on a periodic basis, rather than waiting until year-end. It ensures the government collects revenue (GST, withheld taxes, etc.) regularly and helps businesses manage cash flow by spreading tax payments throughout the year. In summary, if you’re running a GST-registered business or have employees, lodging BAS is a critical part of staying compliant with tax laws.
BAS Lodgment Frequencies and Due Dates in 2025
The due date for lodging and paying your BAS depends on your BAS reporting cycle (monthly, quarterly, or annually) and the period it covers. The ATO will usually mail or electronically send your BAS form in advance, but you are responsible for knowing the deadlines. If a due date falls on a weekend or public holiday, it rolls over to the next business day. Below is an overview of BAS lodgment frequencies and the key due dates for the 2025 tax year:
Quarterly BAS (Standard for most SMBs)
Businesses with annual GST turnover under $20 million typically lodge quarterly. Each quarterly BAS covers three months and is due on the 28th of the month after the quarter-end. For example:
-
July–September 2024 quarter – due 28 October 2024 (Q1 of the 2024–25 financial year)
-
October–December 2024 quarter – due 28 February 2025 (note: this due date has an extended two-month period to account for the Christmas/New Year break)
-
January–March 2025 quarter – due 28 April 2025
-
April–June 2025 quarter – due 28 July 2025
These dates are the standard deadlines if you lodge your BAS yourself. Keep in mind that Quarter 2 (Oct–Dec) already has a one-month extension to 28 Feb, so it doesn’t receive any further extension. Lodging electronically (online) or through a registered agent can give you a bit more time (explained under Extensions below).
Monthly BAS
Large businesses (GST turnover of $20 million or more) must report monthly, and others may choose monthly reporting for more frequent, smaller payments. A monthly BAS is due by the 21st of the following month. For example, the BAS for January 2025 is due by 21 February 2025. Each monthly period’s BAS is due on the 21st of the next month (e.g. March 2025 BAS due 21 April 2025, and so on). There is one exception: if you’re a small business lodging via a tax/BAS agent, the ATO grants an extended due date of 21 February for the December monthly BAS (instead of 21 January) for eligible clients (generally those with turnover under $10 million). Apart from that December concession, standard monthly BAS due dates are the 21st of the next month, and no additional electronic lodgment extension applies to standard monthly BAS.
Annual BAS
If you are voluntarily registered for GST (turnover under $75,000, or under $150,000 for non-profits) and have elected to report annually, you lodge one BAS per year. An annual GST return for the 2024–25 financial year is due by 31 October 2025 (which aligns with the usual income tax return due date). If you aren’t required to lodge an income tax return, the annual BAS would be due by the later date of 28 February 2026 for that year. (Annual reporting is relatively rare – most small businesses choose quarterly even if eligible for annual – but it can apply to very small enterprises).
Always double-check your BAS form for the exact due date, as the ATO prints the due date on each form. Missing a due date can lead to penalties, so knowing whether you’re on a monthly, quarterly, or annual cycle is crucial. Many small to medium businesses default to quarterly BAS lodgments, whereas larger businesses must lodge more frequently. If you’re unsure, you can confirm your reporting cycle via the ATO’s online services or by contacting the ATO.
Key Tax Obligations Reported in a BAS
When you lodge a BAS, you are fulfilling several key tax obligations on behalf of your business. It’s important to understand what these obligations are, as compliance with each is mandatory for businesses that meet certain criteria:
GST (Goods and Services Tax)
If your business is registered for GST, you must report the GST you collected on sales and the GST you paid on business purchases. The BAS will calculate your net GST – if GST collected exceeds GST credits, you pay the difference; if credits exceed what you collected, you receive a refund. A crucial obligation is that any business with GST turnover of $75,000 or more must register for GST within 21 days of reaching that threshold. Once registered, you must charge 10% GST on taxable sales, issue tax invoices, and lodge BAS to report it. Failing to register when required can incur penalties, so monitoring your turnover is important. If your turnover is below the threshold, registering is optional, but if you do register voluntarily, you take on the same GST reporting obligations (usually annual or quarterly BAS).
PAYG Withholding
If you have employees (or make certain payments to contractors), you are required to withhold income tax from their wages/payments and remit it to the ATO. This is known as PAYG withholding. Employers must register for PAYG withholding and withhold the correct amounts from each pay. On your BAS, you report total wages paid and the amount of tax withheld. The withheld tax must be paid to the ATO by the BAS due date. This system ensures employees have the correct amount of tax prepaid toward their own tax liabilities. Note: Even if your business is not GST-registered (for example, a small business under the GST threshold), if you have employees you will still have to lodge an activity statement to report PAYG withholding. The frequency of PAYG withholding reporting can be monthly or quarterly depending on your withholding amounts (larger withholders report more frequently), but this is integrated into the BAS for convenience.
PAYG Instalments
Many businesses and sole traders need to pay instalments towards their own income tax through the year. If you’ve received a notice to pay PAYG instalments, it means the ATO expects you to pre-pay a portion of your expected income tax liability each period. These PAYG instalments are reported and paid on your BAS (or on a separate instalment notice in some cases). The BAS will have a PAYG instalment amount (often pre-calculated by ATO, though you can vary it) which you include with your BAS payment. This system helps prevent one large tax bill at year-end by spreading company or sole trader income tax payments across the year. Make sure to check your BAS for any instalment obligations if you’ve entered the PAYG instalment system (usually the ATO automatically enrols you if your last tax return had tax over a certain amount).
Other Obligations
Depending on your business, your BAS can also include other items. For example, if you pay Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT) instalments (common for businesses providing fringe benefits to employees), those instalments are included on the BAS. Similarly, if your business deals in goods subject to Luxury Car Tax or Wine Equalisation Tax, or you claim Fuel Tax Credits, those are reported on the BAS as well. Most small businesses will simply mark these sections as Not Applicable if they don’t apply. Only complete the sections of the BAS that apply to your business’s registrations and taxes – you are not expected to fill in areas that don’t concern your business.
In summary, the BAS is a comprehensive tax reporting obligation for businesses. It consolidates various taxes into one form. Staying on top of these obligations – registering for the taxes you need to, charging/withholding the correct amounts, and accurately reporting them – is essential for compliance. Good record-keeping (of sales, purchases, wages, etc.) throughout the period will make preparing your BAS much easier and ensure you report correctly.
Why Lodging and Paying BAS on Time is Important
Timely lodgment and payment of your BAS is critical for several reasons:
Legal Obligation
First and foremost, lodging your BAS by the due date is a legal requirement. Failing to do so is a breach of tax law and can result in penalties. The ATO does recognise that occasional lapses happen, and in fact notes that it generally doesn’t punish isolated late lodgments harshly. However, consistent lateness or non-compliance will definitely draw penalties or compliance action. It’s far better to stay on time than to explain to the ATO why you missed a deadline.
Avoiding Costly Penalties and Interest
Late BAS lodgments can trigger Failure to Lodge (FTL) penalties, and late payments incur interest charges (the General Interest Charge). These can add up quickly. The interest rate on overdue tax debts is significantly higher than most commercial interest rates – in early 2025 the GIC was around 11.17%–11.42% per annum (compounding daily). That means procrastinating on a $10,000 BAS payment could cost over $1,100 in interest if a year late, in addition to any flat penalties. Lodging and paying on time saves your business from wasting money on fines and interest, which are non-deductible costs (and from 1 July 2025, even the interest on tax debts will no longer be tax-deductible).
Cash Flow Management
BAS due dates create a rhythm for paying business taxes that many businesses incorporate into their cash flow planning. By adhering to the deadlines, you avoid the snowball effect of accumulating multiple BAS liabilities at once. Missing one quarter and then having the next quarter’s BAS due soon after can strain your cash flow severely. Regular on-time payments are easier to manage than catch-up payments for multiple periods. Also, if you lodge on time and you happen to be owed a refund (for example, a GST refund), you receive that money sooner, which can help your cash flow. Delaying lodgment delays any refunds you’re entitled to.
Maintaining Good Compliance Standing
Consistent on-time compliance keeps you in the ATO’s good books. If you repeatedly lodge late or fail to pay, the ATO may take closer interest in your affairs. In some cases, the ATO can even direct a business to switch to monthly GST reporting if quarterly lodgers are not meeting their obligations. This could increase your compliance burden (since you’d have to lodge 12 times a year instead of 4). Thus, it’s wise not to give the ATO cause to impose additional requirements. Good compliance history can also make it easier to negotiate leniency or payment plans with the ATO if you ever do hit a rough patch. On the flip side, a poor lodgment/payment history might limit your options and even affect your ability to obtain tax clearance for government tenders or grants.
Peace of Mind and Business Health
From a business management perspective, meeting your BAS deadlines is a good indicator that your books are in order on a regular basis. It forces you (or your bookkeeper) to reconcile accounts and review your finances periodically. This can help you spot issues (like escalating expenses or accounting errors) early. In contrast, letting BAS obligations slide often means your accounting records are not up to date, which can snowball into larger problems when tax time or audits come around. There’s definitely peace of mind in knowing you’re up to date with the ATO – one less thing to worry about while running your business.
In short, there are both carrot and stick incentives to lodge and pay on time: you avoid penalties and interest (the “stick”) and you keep your business finances healthy and predictable (the “carrot”). It’s an essential habit of successful business compliance to treat BAS due dates as sacrosanct.
Penalties for Late Lodgement or Payment of BAS
Despite our best intentions, sometimes a BAS is lodged or paid late. It’s important to understand the consequences so you can avoid them – or address them quickly if it happens. The ATO imposes two main types of charges for late compliance: FTL (Failure to Lodge) penalties for late lodgments and interest charges for late payments.
Failure to Lodge on Time (FTL) Penalty
This is a penalty for lodging your BAS (or other tax return/statement) after the due date. The FTL penalty is calculated in increments of time. For small entities (most small-medium businesses fall in this category), the penalty is 1 penalty unit for each 28-day period (or part thereof) your BAS is overdue, up to a maximum of 5 penalty units. As of 2025, one penalty unit is $330 (it increased from $313 on 7 November 2024). This means the maximum penalty for a very late BAS (over 4 months late) could be 5 × $330 = $1,650 for a small business.
For example, lodging a quarterly BAS 2 weeks late (which falls into one 28-day period) might incur a $330 fine, whereas lodging it 3 months late could incur around $990 (3 × $330). Medium entities (income or turnover $1–20 million) incur double the rate (so 2 penalty units per 28 days), and large entities ($20m+ turnover) incur five times the rate – meaning their penalties can be much larger. The ATO will send a written notice if an FTL penalty is applied, stating the reason, amount, and payment due date for the penalty.
In practice, the ATO might exercise discretion for a first-time or one-off late lodgment, especially if there is a good compliance history – so not every slightly late BAS automatically triggers a fine. However, it’s not guaranteed, and repeated lateness will almost certainly result in penalties.
General Interest Charge (GIC) – Interest on Late Payments
If you lodge your BAS but don’t pay the full amount owing by the due date (or you lodge on time but payment is late), the remaining amount is subject to the ATO’s General Interest Charge. GIC is a compounding interest charge calculated on a daily basis for overdue tax debts. The interest rate is determined quarterly and is based on a formula (it’s pegged a few percentage points above the 90-day bank bill rate). During 2024 and 2025, GIC rates have been around 11–12% per annum. For example, the GIC annual rate for April–June 2025 was 11.17%.
This interest accrues on any unpaid BAS amount from the day after the due date until it’s paid in full. There is no upper limit to GIC – it will continue to accrue as long as the debt remains. The ATO does this to encourage timely payment and to ensure those who pay late don’t get an unfair cash-flow advantage over those who pay on time. It’s important to note that ATO interest charges are not tax-deductible expenses (and legislation passed to remove deductibility of such interest entirely from 1 July 2025).
If you have a genuine reason, the ATO can remit (waive) interest in some cases, but you would need to request a remission and provide a valid justification – it’s not automatic.
Late PAYG Withholding or Super Contributions
Beyond the BAS itself, it’s worth mentioning other compliance penalties. If you withhold tax from employees but fail to pay it to the ATO, different penalties can apply under PAYG withholding rules. Additionally, if you miss superannuation guarantee payments, there are separate and severe penalties (the Super Guarantee Charge). While these are outside the BAS, they are related obligations that often get reported or cross-checked around BAS time. Essentially, every obligation reported on your BAS has some kind of penalty if not complied with. For most, the FTL and GIC are the primary ones to be aware of.
In Summary
Late BAS lodgments or payments can cost your business significantly. A single late quarter could hit you with a few hundred dollars in fines plus interest – and those costs only grow with time. The best strategy is to avoid these penalties by lodging and paying on time. If you do end up late, the sooner you lodge and pay, the better: it stops additional 28-day penalty increments from accruing and minimizes interest. You can also reach out to the ATO if you think there are grounds to have a penalty remitted (for example, if there were exceptional circumstances). But there’s never a guarantee, so it’s far better to stay compliant from the outset.
Extensions and Concessions for BAS Lodgment/Payment
Recognizing that businesses sometimes need flexibility, the ATO provides a few extensions, concessions, and support options that can help you meet your BAS obligations and potentially avoid penalties. Here are some key relief measures and how they work:
Electronic Lodgment Extensions
The ATO encourages online lodgment of activity statements. If you lodge your quarterly BAS online (through ATO online services or SBR software), you may receive an automatic two-week extension for lodging and paying. In practice, the standard due date of (say) 28 April could be extended to 11 May for electronic lodgers. However, note that this does not apply for the October–December quarter (due 28 Feb) because that due date already has extra time built in. Also, monthly BAS lodgers do not get an electronic extension – the 21st of the next month remains the deadline (except for the special case of December via agents, discussed below). For annual GST reporters, no additional electronic extension is given beyond 31 October (since many will align with tax returns anyway). The two-week online lodgment extension has effectively become standard for most small businesses, since the majority lodge online. If you receive a paper form but still lodge via the ATO Business Portal or myGov, the extension should apply.
Registered Tax/BAS Agent Extensions
If you use a registered tax agent or BAS agent to prepare and lodge your BAS, you can often get even more time. The ATO’s BAS Agent Lodgment Program sets later deadlines for agents lodging on behalf of clients. For example, for the quarter ending 30 June 2025, an agent lodging electronically had until 25 August 2025 (instead of 28 July) to lodge and pay. For the January–March 2025 quarter, an agent had until 26 May 2025 instead of 28 April. Generally, an agent can get around 4 weeks extra for quarterly BAS (except the December quarter, which is already extended to 28 Feb). Agents also get a concession for the December monthly BAS: business clients with turnover under $10 million who lodge via an agent have until 21 February (instead of 21 January) to lodge and pay December’s BAS. These agent extensions recognize that agents lodge many clients’ forms and need a workload spread.
Important: To take advantage of agent extensions, you must be registered with the ATO as a client of that agent and the BAS must be lodged through the agent’s channels. If you’re consistently lodging late on your own, engaging an agent might immediately buy you extra time – but be sure to still provide your data to the agent well before their due date. Also note, if you’re very late, an agent can’t magically remove penalties unless the ATO grants a deferral or remission.
Weekend/Public Holiday Concessions
As mentioned earlier, if a due date falls on a non-business day, the ATO accepts lodgment and payment on the next business day without penalty. For instance, if the 21st of the month is a Sunday, your BAS can be lodged on Monday the 22nd and it’s considered on time. Likewise, a 28th that falls on a public holiday shifts to the next working day. The ATO’s online systems often highlight this, and the BAS forms usually adjust the printed date accordingly. Always check if an upcoming due date coincides with a weekend or public holiday, especially around Easter (April) or Australia Day (late January) – you might have a tiny bit of extra time.
Lodgment Deferrals
In cases of exceptional or unforeseen circumstances that prevent you from lodging by the due date, you can contact the ATO to request a lodgment deferral (an extension of time to lodge). This could apply to situations like natural disasters, serious illness, or other events outside your control. The ATO advises you to get in touch before the due date if possible when seeking a deferral.
For example, if a flood or bushfire has affected your business or region, the ATO often announces automatic deferrals for affected postcodes, or you can request one. Natural disaster relief: The ATO has provisions to grant extra time to lodge and pay for taxpayers affected by declared disasters. In such cases, they usually publicize which obligations are deferred and until what date (often on the ATO website’s disaster support page). If you need a deferral for a reason specific to your business (not a general event), you or your tax agent can apply by explaining the circumstances. The ATO may then grant additional time to lodge without incurring an FTL penalty for being late. Keep documentation of why you couldn’t lodge on time – you’ll need to substantiate the request. A deferral doesn’t stop interest on late payments unless specified, but it can prevent a late lodgment penalty from being charged.
“Safe Harbour” for Agent Lodgments
If you use a registered tax or BAS agent, there’s a provision known as safe harbour that can protect you from late lodgment penalties in certain cases. Essentially, if you provided all relevant information to your agent on time and the agent fails to lodge on time due to a mistake or oversight, you may not be penalized for that late lodgment. The idea is that you shouldn’t be punished for your agent’s error when you did the right thing. This safe harbour is not a blanket guarantee – specific conditions apply (the lodgment delay must not be because you misled the agent or were late in giving them info, etc.). But it’s a useful protection to be aware of if you work with an agent.
Payment Plans and Relief
While not an extension of the due date per se, the ATO is often willing to work with businesses that cannot pay by the due date but do the right thing by lodging on time. If you know you’ll have trouble paying your BAS in full, it’s generally recommended to lodge the BAS anyway by the due date (to avoid the FTL penalty) and then immediately contact the ATO to discuss a payment plan. A payment plan won’t stop the GIC interest from accruing on the outstanding amount, but it can prevent more severe debt collection actions and demonstrates goodwill. The ATO’s approach to small business debt has been reasonably flexible, especially if you communicate early.
In some instances, if you enter a payment plan and adhere to it, the ATO may remit some interest as a gesture of goodwill – but again, only if you’ve been proactive. There are also limited circumstances where penalties can be remitted. For example, if you had a spotless compliance history and something genuinely outside your control caused a delay, the ATO might waive the FTL penalty upon request. These are considered on a case-by-case basis.
In Summary
In all cases, the golden rule is to communicate and act early. Extensions and concessions are there to help honest businesses who encounter difficulties, not as routine tools to delay compliance. Know the concessions available: something as simple as using an agent or lodging online can automatically give you breathing room. And if trouble arises, don’t hide – contact the ATO or your advisor before the deadline passes. The ATO is much more understanding if you inform them upfront rather than silence and missed deadlines.
Tips for Ensuring BAS Compliance and Avoiding Penalties
Managing your BAS obligations can feel daunting, especially for small businesses and sole traders juggling many tasks. However, a few practical strategies can go a long way in ensuring you stay compliant and avoid any nasty surprises from the ATO. Here are some tips to help you stay on top of your BAS:
Know Your Deadlines and Set Reminders
Mark all relevant BAS due dates on your calendar (physical or digital) at the start of the year. Better yet, set up automatic reminders – for instance, a week before and a day before the due date. The ATO provides tools like the ATO app, which can send lodgment reminders to your phone. By having a clear line of sight to each deadline, you won’t be caught off guard. Remember to adjust for any agent extensions or public holiday shifts in dates. Consistent reminders can turn timely BAS lodgment into a routine habit.
Keep Your Records Up-to-Date (Avoid Last-Minute Scramble)
One main cause of late BAS lodgment is disorganized or last-minute bookkeeping. To combat this, try to reconcile your accounts regularly – if you’re a quarterly lodger, do your books monthly instead of waiting until the end of the quarter. Use accounting software to track your GST on sales and purchases continuously. By the time the BAS period ends, your figures will largely be ready to go. Always double-check the BAS figures against your records for accuracy. If you ensure that sales, expenses, payroll, etc., are recorded correctly in real time, completing the BAS form is much quicker and less stressful near the due date. This proactive approach also gives you a clearer picture of any BAS liability coming up, so you can set aside funds in advance.
Lodge Early if Possible – Don’t Wait for the Deadline
There’s no rule that you must lodge on the last day. If you have your BAS information ready a week or two early, consider lodging then. Especially if you expect a GST refund, lodging early means you’ll get your money back sooner. Even if you have a payment to make, you can still lodge early and schedule the payment for the due date. Early lodgment provides a buffer: if there’s any error or omission, you have time to correct it before the deadline. It also avoids the risk of last-minute technical glitches (e.g., portal issues on deadline day).
Don’t Skip Lodgment – Even If You Can’t Pay
A critical tip that many small business owners learn the hard way: always lodge your BAS on time, even if you cannot pay the full amount immediately. The act of lodging on time will save you from the FTL late lodgment penalty. You can then focus on arranging payment. If you can’t pay in full, pay as much as you can to reduce accruing interest, and contact the ATO to work out a payment plan for the balance. The ATO is much more willing to work with you on payment arrangements than if you fail to lodge the form. By lodging, you show good faith. By contrast, not lodging (perhaps out of fear of not being able to pay) will incur penalties and possibly harsher enforcement. Remember, lodging and paying are treated separately by the ATO – meet the lodgment obligation first, then tackle the payment issue.
Use a Registered BAS or Tax Agent if Needed
If BAS still feels overwhelming or if your business situation is getting more complex, it might be wise to engage a registered BAS agent or accountant. They can ensure your BAS is prepared correctly and on time. Plus, as noted, if they’re lodging on your behalf, you’ll likely get extended due dates, which can be a lifesaver in busy periods. Ensure you give your agent all necessary information well before the BAS is due – don’t treat the agent extension as just extra procrastination time. An agent’s expertise can also help you identify any errors or opportunities (for instance, making sure you’re claiming all GST credits you’re entitled to). Always use a registered agent; you can check the Tax Practitioners Board register to confirm their registration. This gives you protection (such as safe harbour for certain mistakes, as discussed) that you won’t have with an unregistered bookkeeper or friend.
Take Advantage of ATO Resources and Support
The ATO provides quite a bit of guidance for small businesses. There are BAS preparation tutorials, FAQs, and even small business seminars available. If you’re new to BAS, invest some time in reading the ATO’s “BAS and GST tips” guides. The more you understand what the ATO expects, the easier compliance becomes. Additionally, if circumstances arise (illness, disaster, etc.), don’t hesitate to call the ATO’s support line to discuss your situation. They can advise on deferrals or payment plans. It’s better to have them note your account with a reason for delay than to just hope for the best.
Maintain Good Compliance in Other Areas
Often, businesses handling BAS will also have other obligations like income tax returns, Superannuation Guarantee for employees, etc. Keeping those in check indirectly helps your BAS compliance because it fosters an overall culture of compliance in your business. For example, using Single Touch Payroll (STP) for your employees means your PAYG withholding data is being reported in real-time, which can make BAS reporting of W1/W2 (wages and tax withheld) more straightforward and accurate. Good payroll compliance (paying correct wages, withholding, and super) and good GST compliance tend to go hand in hand.
Plan for BAS Payments Financially
Treat your BAS payments as a fixed expense in your budgeting. A good strategy is to set aside the GST you collect in a separate bank account so you won’t be tempted to spend it before it’s due to the ATO. Similarly, remember that withheld PAYG amounts (from salaries) are never really your money – they belong to the ATO for your employees’ tax. By keeping those funds earmarked, you’ll always have the cash ready when the BAS payment is due. This helps you avoid the scramble of trying to come up with a large sum at BAS time. Many accounting software packages can even show a running tally of GST and PAYG collected – use those to guide how much you set aside.
By following these tips, you’ll greatly reduce the likelihood of late lodgments or unexpected BAS problems. In essence, be proactive, stay organized, and seek help when needed. BAS compliance will then become a routine part of your business rather than a quarterly headache. Remember that thousands of small businesses successfully lodge their BAS on time every period – with the right approach, you can too. Stay informed, stay prepared, and the BAS will be just another business task checked off on schedule, leaving you free to focus on actually running and growing your business.
