Understanding Your BAS Lodgment Cycle
How often a BAS needs to be lodged depends on your business's reporting cycle, which is set by the ATO when you register for GST. Most small businesses lodge quarterly, though some are required to lodge monthly or annually depending on turnover and other factors. Before each lodgment, we'll ask for information such as sales records, expense receipts and payroll details, so your GST and PAYG figures can be prepared accurately.
We review this information, prepare your BAS and confirm the details with you before it's lodged with the ATO. Once lodged, we keep a record of what's been submitted, so your reporting history stays organised and easy to reference at tax time.

What is a BAS, and who needs to lodge one?
A Business Activity Statement (BAS) is a form submitted to the ATO by businesses registered for GST, reporting obligations such as GST, PAYG withholding and PAYG instalments. Businesses with a GST turnover of $75,000 or more are generally required to register and lodge a BAS.
How often does a BAS need to be lodged?
Lodgment frequency depends on the business's reporting cycle, which the ATO sets when GST registration occurs. Most businesses lodge quarterly, though some lodge monthly or annually depending on their circumstances.
What information is needed to prepare a BAS?
Preparing a BAS typically requires sales and income records, expense receipts and payroll details for the relevant period. Having this information organised in advance makes the preparation and lodgment process faster and more accurate.
