GST & PAYG Reconciliation

Monthly & Quarterly Reporting

BAS Control Centre

DUE DATES ON ONE SIDE. CLEAN NUMBERS ON THE OTHER.

This service is built around the actual reporting cycle Australian businesses deal with: reconcile the ledger, review GST and PAYG, confirm the figures and lodge the activity statement on the correct schedule.

Standard Quarterly BAS Calendar

Key ATO Dates

Standard quarterly lodgment and payment dates for businesses reporting GST quarterly.

July – September

October – December

A later lodgment date may apply for eligible online or registered-agent lodgers. Quarter 2 already has an extended standard period, so the same concession does not apply in the same way.

Before We Lodge Your BAS

A clean lodgment starts with the records behind the activity statement. Before finalising your BAS, we review the areas most likely to affect GST and PAYG accuracy.

✓ Reconcile bank, credit card and clearing accounts for the reporting period.

✓ Review GST coding, supporting invoices and private-use adjustments where relevant.

✓ Cross-check PAYG withholding figures against payroll and activity statement records.

✓ Confirm the reporting period, lodgment status and any outstanding activity statements before submission.

What We Reconcile

Inside Your BAS Review

We review the reporting labels and supporting ledger records relevant to your registration and reporting obligations.

Total Sales

Review sales coding and GST treatment before the BAS is prepared.

GST on Sales

Reconcile GST collected on taxable sales and identify coding anomalies.

GST Credits

Check eligible GST credits on business purchases and supporting records.

PAYG Withholding

Cross-check payroll withholding figures against your reporting records.

PAYG Instalments

Review instalment amounts or variations where PAYG instalments apply.

Other BAS Labels

Fuel tax credits and other labels are considered where relevant to the business.

Common BAS Issues We Check

The BAS is only as accurate as the transactions behind it. Our review also looks for common reporting issues before the activity statement is finalised.

✓ GST incorrectly claimed on GST-free, input-taxed or private transactions.

Australian BAS Questions

FREQUENTLY ASKED BAS & GST QUESTIONS

Practical answers for Australian businesses dealing with GST registration, overdue activity statements, due dates and BAS reporting methods.

No blanket four-week extension applies to every quarterly BAS. Eligible businesses may receive later lodgment dates when lodging online or through a registered tax or BAS agent. Quarter 2 already has a longer standard period, so later-date arrangements work differently. We confirm the due date that applies to your specific activity statement.

Most Australian businesses must register for GST when their current or projected GST turnover reaches $75,000. Some activities have different rules, and businesses below the threshold may choose to register voluntarily if eligible.

We can help reconstruct the missing periods, clean up GST coding, reconcile the relevant accounts and prepare outstanding activity statements in order. Where penalties have been imposed, we can also assist with remission requests where the circumstances support an application.

Yes. We can help you understand the balance and assist with available ATO payment-plan options where appropriate. General interest charge may continue to apply to outstanding tax debt, so payment plans are not automatically interest-free.

Yes. GST can be accounted for on a cash basis or a non-cash basis, depending on the business and its eligibility. We reconcile the ledger according to the accounting method recorded for your GST registration.

Not always. Businesses with GST turnover below $20 million generally report quarterly unless the ATO requires monthly reporting or the business chooses to report monthly. Businesses with GST turnover of $20 million or more generally report GST monthly.
