What Is a BAS Statement and Why It Matters for Melbourne Businesses
The Business Activity Statement (BAS) is how your business reports GST, PAYG, and other tax obligations to the ATO. It’s required if you’re GST-registered—which you will be if your turnover exceeds $75K.
Our BAS agents help Melbourne clients lodge correctly, avoid penalties, and stay confident in their books. Lodgements are submitted through the BAS agents portal, with all figures reviewed before submission.

What Is a BAS Statement?
If you’re wondering, “What is a BAS statement?”, you’re not alone. A Business Activity Statement is a form submitted to the ATO (Australian Taxation Office) to report and pay:
-
Goods and Services Tax (GST)
-
Pay As You Go (PAYG) withholding
-
PAYG instalments
-
Other taxes like fringe benefits tax (FBT) or fuel tax credits (if applicable)
Your BAS is typically lodged either monthly or quarterly, depending on your business size and structure. Lodging it accurately and on time is key to avoiding interest, penalties, or unwanted ATO attention.
