How to lodge your BAS
If you run a business that’s registered for GST, you need to lodge a business activity statement (BAS).
Your BAS helps you report and pay your:
- goods and services tax (GST)
- pay as you go (PAYG) instalments
- PAYG withholding tax
- other taxes.
When you register for an Australian business number (ABN) and GST, the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) will automatically send you your BAS when it is time to lodge. Remember to lodge by the due date, even if you have nothing to report in your BAS.
If you lodge your own BAS and lodge online, you may receive an extra 2 weeks to lodge and pay.
