Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Business Activity Statement (BAS) in Australia?
A Business Activity Statement (BAS) is a form that businesses in Australia use to report and pay various tax obligations to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). BAS is commonly used by businesses registered for Goods and Services Tax (GST) to report GST collected and paid. However, it can also include reporting for other obligations, such as Pay As You Go (PAYG) income tax withholding, PAYG instalments, fringe benefits tax (FBT) and luxury car tax (LCT), depending on the nature of the business.

The ATO requires businesses to submit their BAS either monthly, quarterly or annually, depending on turnover or specific requirements. BAS lodgement ensures businesses stay compliant with tax regulations, helping avoid penalties and unnecessary financial risks.
What happens if I miss a BAS lodgement?
Failing to lodge BAS on time can result in penalties and interest charges from the ATO. The ATO may apply a Failure to Lodge on Time (FTL) penalty, which accrues for every 28 days the statement remains overdue, with the amount based on the business size. In addition to penalties, the ATO may charge General Interest Charges (GIC) on any unpaid taxes until they are fully settled.

If you miss a BAS deadline, it’s essential to act promptly by lodging the statement as soon as possible, even if full payment isn’t immediately available. In many cases, the ATO offers payment plans or may waive penalties if there are valid reasons for the delay, such as natural disasters or financial hardship.
What can I claim on my BAS?
The BAS allows businesses to report and claim input tax credits on GST paid for business expenses. You can claim the GST portion of most goods and services purchased for business use, provided you hold valid tax invoices.

Common deductible expenses include:

Business utilities (electricity, phone, internet)
Office supplies and equipment
Vehicle expenses for business use
Professional services, such as accounting or legal fees
Marketing and advertising costs

However, GST cannot be claimed on certain expenses, such as wages, bank fees and personal purchases. It's crucial to ensure that claims are accurate, as incorrect reporting may trigger audits or penalties from the ATO.
