BAS agent – Streamline Management

End of March quarter

Here we are at the end of another quarter (what, already?!)
its time to start preparing the BAS.
Remember to verify, check, corroborate, review, ensure, confirm, establish and substantiate all details before submitting to the ATO.
Not sure you’re the best person to do all the checks? Ask us if we could help you remain on the better side of the ATO. Only BAS agents can assist with BAS preparation and lodgement. If your bookkeeper is not registered they cannot provide you with ANY information that could be included in your ATO lodgement.

Sick of conversations with the ATO about missing deadlines?
What actions do you need to take this year to avoid the tax office jailhouse?

September quarter BAS

What time is it?
Time to panic!!

The September quarter BAS needs to be lodged TODAY if you want to avoid fines.
Can’t pay it all? Make a payment arrangement.

Late lodgement will breach the terms of any payment plan you have in place with the ATO, and may make it harder to apply for one in the future.
For our clients, it will also mean our annual authority to file STP on your behalf is not valid.

So no more mucking around!

Talk Money Week – what is insolvency

Awkward!
Its probably more awkward if you have to tell suppliers and employees you don’t have the money to pay them.
If you can’t pay your bills, you may be insolvent and that can lead to harsh penalties for the directors.
Ask for help before you are in over your talk hole.

It's time to prepare your BAS for lodgement

September BAS due soon!

This is not the time for last minute shenanigans, its time for action!

We have been beavering away on BAS preparations, make sure you to respond to our emails.
We need responses this week so we can lodge September quarter BAS by 25th November (or you risk being fined by the ATO).

The sooner we are able to prepare the BAS, the sooner you’ll be able to project your cashflow.

Fortune Cookie Day

You crack open the cookie, only to be disappointed.
At times, starting your own business can be much the same.

Stop winging it, shut down the computer and go to dinner with family and/or friends (Deep fried icecream for us please), then come back tomorrow and focus on growing your fortune with a team of experts to support you.

Xerocon – technology is only ever a copilot and not a replacement for advisors

We’re back at the desk after a week at Xerocon.
We had a great time reconnecting with our favourite app partners, chatting up some new ones, hearing where our industry might be heading, being motivated & uplifted and hanging out with our peers & friendly competitors.
There was a focus on AI, Will Buckley Xero AU country manager said: I’m going to be really clear: AI should not take anyone’s job in this profession. Building trust, having meaningful conversations informed by data, and harnessing the latest technology, is where the real magic happens.

June 2023 BAS is due right now!

It’s time to make sure your June quarter BAS has been lodged and paid (or a payment plan arranged).

Not in the mood? Late lodgement fines, defaulting on existing payment plans and your BAS agent is no longer allowed to file your payroll STP with their annual authority, its probably easier just to do a spot of adulting and lodge the thing.
Suspect you’re not really capable of nailing it? Get a tax or BAS agent to assist (you also get a big longer until the payment is due – win!).

Don’t forget our office will be closed between 22-25th August for Xerocon.
There’s no time for last minute shenanigans!
