BAS (Business Activity Statement)

The periodic form Australian businesses lodge to report and pay GST, PAYG withholding, and other obligations.

The Business Activity Statement is lodged monthly or quarterly by Australian businesses to report GST collected on sales, GST credits on purchases, PAYG withholding for employees, and instalments.

Clean, categorised records — invoices with GST recorded, expenses with receipts — turn BAS time from a scramble into a report you simply read off.
