Six things worth checking before your BAS goes in:
1️⃣ Every bank account matched off against the statement, not just the main one
2️⃣ Your software is adding GST to the right things
3️⃣ You’re not claiming GST back on things that never had it
4️⃣ The weekly shop and the kids’ footy fees are out of the business account
5️⃣ ABNs on file for everyone you’ve paid
6️⃣ Every number comes off a receipt or a statement, not out of your head
Skip one and you usually won’t hear about it until the ATO does.
📩 Rather someone else ran that check? Send me a message.

Your July to September BAS is due on one of three dates. Which one depends on how you lodge it 👇🏻
1️⃣ 28 October, if you post it in
2️⃣ 11 November, if you do it yourself online
3️⃣ 25 November, if a registered BAS or tax agent does it for you
Not sure which is yours? Work to 28 October. You can’t claim the later dates after the fact.
Lodge monthly instead? Your September one is due 21 October.
📩 Want a registered agent lodging yours next quarter? Send me a message.

01/10/2026

October starts today, and your Q1 BAS is due on one of three dates: 28 October, 11 November or 25 November.
Which one depends on how you lodge. Through a registered BAS agent it is the latest of the three, but the agent has to be engaged before they can lodge for you.
If you would rather have 25 November than a scramble in October, now is when that gets decided.
Message me and we will sort it before the quarter closes.

Paying a spouse, a child or another family member through payroll? They are a closely held payee, and they have their own reporting deadline.
If you have both closely held payees and regular employees, the STP end of year finalisation for those payees is due 30 September.
It is one of the least known obligations in the calendar, and it applies to a lot of family run businesses without them realising.
Not sure whether it applies to you? Message me and I will tell you in five minutes.

The July to September quarter closes on Wednesday.
Two things land on 30 September:
The quarter your next BAS covers ends
STP end of year finalisation is due for closely held payees, which means anyone paying family members through payroll
After Wednesday, the figures are what they are. Anything not recorded by then gets fixed the hard way.
Message me if you want it clean before it closes.

What an accountant needs at lodgement, and what slows the job down:
Accounts reconciled to 30 June
Expenses coded consistently
Payroll finalised and super reconciled
Loans, drawings and owner payments clearly identified
Records ready for anything unusual, before they have to ask
The tidier it arrives, the less it costs you.
Message me and I will get it ready.

31 October is the deadline to lodge your own tax return. In 2026 it falls on a Saturday, so the first business day after is Monday 2 November.
If you would rather an accountant lodged it, the ATO says to contact them before 31 October to be part of their lodgment program.
Either way it starts with records your accountant can work from.
I get those ready. Message me.

Payroll is the part of the books where errors cost the most and surface the latest.
Wrong award rates, late super, incorrect reporting. None of it announces itself at the time.
I take payroll off your plate and keep it compliant. Message me.

10/09/2026

Lodged on time, every quarter, without errors. That is what BAS looks like for my clients.
No scrambling for missing transactions. No guessing on GST. No last minute panic.
If BAS is something you would rather hand off, message me.
