Financial cowboys and cowgirls are everywhere – but how do you avoid being caught in their lasso?
Check their Tax Practitioners Board licence.
There are 3 kinds of licences – tax, BAS and financial planner, anyone who doesn’t have a licence is not allowed to give you financial support. Avoid being burnt with their branding iron!
We’re licenced BAS agents for small businesses.
June quarter BAS is due soon – how soon depends on your lodgement method.
Pinkish paper forms need to be with the ATO by Monday,
if you’ve upgraded to lodge your own BAS online, you’ve got another 2 weeks.
If we lodge it for you, you’ve got another 4 weeks until your payment is due
We’re up for a bit of listening, but you really need to know when to not listen.
Tax advice from a salesperson or at a BBQ or from a bar stool is not advice worth listening to.
Sales people want the sale and will tell you any old rubbish to make it happen.
Your mates might be trying to help, but the advice they receive is about them, not you.
Remember to listen to licenced financial experts on World Listening Day.
It’s time to start preparing your June BAS
Using our BAS agent extension – the payment due date is 25th August.
Late lodgement will void any payment plan you have in place with the ATO and you also risk being fined.
It’s time to start preparing your March BAS.
There are a few possible due dates – depending on your lodgement method. Late lodgement leave you open to fines and penalties, so act now!
If you are one of our clients, taking advantage of our extended deadline:
Make sure everything is uploaded to ReceiptBank / Dext so we can get to work. Please send bank statement PDFs.
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?
Need help? That’s Alright, You’ll Never Walk Alone, we’ll be your Good Luck Charm!
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!
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.
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.
