Quarterly BAS prepared, reconciled and lodged for Brisbane businesses — GST, PAYG withheld, fuel tax credits and instalment obligations all handled by a registered BAS agent at offshore cost.
Lodgement Calendar
As a registered BAS agent we receive extended lodgement deadlines for all our Brisbane clients — giving you up to 4 additional weeks per quarter compared to self-lodging.
What We Handle
All GST collected and paid reconciled against your bank feeds, supplier invoices and sales records before BAS lodgement. No surprises from ATO data matching.
PAYG amounts withheld from employee wages each quarter matched against STP Phase 2 data and confirmed before the W2 figure is entered on the BAS.
Fuel tax credit claims calculated for eligible Brisbane businesses — construction, transport, agriculture and mining contractors who use fuel in off-road or other eligible activities.
Quarterly PAYG instalment obligations tracked and confirmed. Variation requests prepared where your current year income differs materially from the prior year instalment rate.
Full BAS prepared in Xero, MYOB or your accounting software. Registered BAS agent reviews and approves before lodgement — you see the figures before anything is submitted.
Lodgement directly to the ATO via the tax agent portal. Confirmation and assessment notice forwarded to you. Payment due date confirmed to avoid general interest charge.
Common Questions
What does a BAS agent do for Brisbane businesses?
A registered BAS agent prepares and lodges your Business Activity Statement. This includes reconciling GST collected and paid, PAYG withheld from employee wages, fuel tax credits and PAYG instalment obligations. BAS agents must be registered with the Tax Practitioners Board, which gives them access to the agent lodgement portal and extended deadlines.
What are the BAS lodgement deadlines for Brisbane businesses?
For quarterly lodgers, BAS deadlines are 28 October (Q1), 28 February (Q2), 28 April (Q3) and 28 July (Q4). Lodging through a registered BAS agent provides extended deadlines of up to 4 additional weeks per quarter. Monthly lodgers (GST turnover above $20M) lodge by the 21st of the following month.
Can offshore bookkeepers prepare BAS for Brisbane businesses?
Yes. BAS preparation can be done by offshore bookkeepers under a registered BAS agent's supervision. The lodgement must be made by or on behalf of the registered BAS agent. OrtúsPro's model has the offshore bookkeeper prepare the BAS, the registered BAS agent reviews and approves, then lodges with the ATO.
How much does BAS preparation cost for a Brisbane business?
Our BAS preparation for Brisbane SMEs typically costs $150–$450 per quarter depending on transaction volume and complexity. Businesses with fuel tax credits or complex GST are at the higher end. This compares to $250–$800 per quarter from local Brisbane BAS agents — a saving of 40–60%.
