Lodging Your Business Activity Statement (BAS)

Your Business Activity Statement (BAS) is essential for reporting your tax obligations and includes key dates for lodgment and payment. The frequency of your BAS submissions depends on your GST turnover, which is linked to your business’s yearly income.

Here’s what you need to know about BAS lodgment schedules based on your business’s revenue:

For businesses with an annual turnover of more than $20 million

These businesses are required to submit their BAS monthly, in line with Australian Taxation Office (ATO) rules. Submissions are due within 21 days after the month ends.

Quarterly Lodgment Deadlines

BAS submissions are due by the 28th day after the quarter ends. For the 2024 financial year, the deadlines are 28 July, 28 October, 28 January, and 28 April. If these dates fall on a weekend or public holiday, the next business day is your deadline.

Monthly Lodgment Deadlines

You must submit your BAS by the 21st day of the following month. For example, in 2024, the deadlines are 21 February, 21 March, 21 April, and so on until 21 January 2025. If a deadline falls on a weekend or holiday, the following business day is your new deadline.

Annual Lodgment Deadline

For those eligible for annual reporting, your comprehensive yearly BAS is due by 28 February 2025. If you work with a registered tax or BAS agent, you might have different deadlines, so it’s wise to check with your agent or the ATO.

Small businesses with a turnover under $10 million, even if eligible for annual BAS reporting, are required to make quarterly payments for Goods and Services Tax (GST), Pay As You Go (PAYG) withholding, fuel tax credits, and possibly, wine equalisation tax.

You can manage your BAS through the ATO’s online services. Ensure your Australian Business Number (ABN) is accurate and current. To stay compliant with the Tax Practitioners Board, use the proper accounting methods and ensure the accuracy of your BAS figures.

Your BAS isn’t just a formality, it’s a crucial tool for managing various taxes related to your business size and type, including income tax and services tax.
