Maintaining tax compliance is crucial for the financial health and legal standing of any business. At Books365, we provide expert tax compliance services, including Business Activity Statement (BAS) and Instalment Activity Statement (IAS) preparation, to ensure Australian businesses meet all regulatory requirements and optimize their tax obligations.
Understanding Tax Compliance
Tax compliance involves adhering to all tax laws and regulations set by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). This includes timely and accurate filing of taxes, keeping detailed records, and ensuring all financial transactions are correctly reported. Proper tax compliance helps avoid penalties, ensures smooth audits, and promotes financial transparency.
Business Activity Statement (BAS)
A BAS is a tax report that businesses must submit to the ATO to report and pay various tax obligations, including Goods and Services Tax (GST), Pay As You Go (PAYG) installments, and other tax liabilities. Key aspects of BAS include:
1. GST Reporting: Reporting GST collected on sales and GST paid on purchases.
2. PAYG Withholding: Reporting amounts withheld from employee wages.
3. PAYG Instalments: Reporting income tax installments.
4. Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT): Reporting FBT instalments if applicable.
Instalment Activity Statement (IAS)
An IAS is used primarily by businesses to report and pay PAYG instalments and other tax obligations that are not covered by BAS. This includes:
1. PAYG Instalments: Reporting income tax installments.
2. PAYG Withholding: Reporting amounts withheld from payments to others.
3. Other Taxes: Reporting other taxes not included in the BAS.
