When it comes to preparing and lodging BAS (business activity statements), there are two methods that are offered by the ATO (Australian Tax Office) to work out your GST (goods and services tax) before you prepare and submit your actual business activity statement.<\/p>\n

These two methods are known as the \u2018calculation worksheet method\u2019 and the \u2018accounts method\u2019.<\/p>\n

A quick overview of BAS<\/h2>\n

Before we jump into BAS completion methods, let\u2019s do a brief BAS recap.<\/p>\n

Business activity statements are there for businesses to report and pay taxes by detailing their business finances. Your regular BAS form must be submitted depending on your businesses’ reporting period so that the ATO can work out taxes owed. The primary purposes are to work out PAYG tax withheld, to pay GST, and to calculate any other taxes you owe.<\/p>\n

Calculation worksheet method<\/h2>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.reckon.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/GST-calc.png” alt=”What do I need to submit? Each time you finish a pay run you need to send a report of the employee payroll information to the IRD. Your report will include the following information for each employee: Pay period, pay cycle (weekly monthly etc) and payday date The employee\u2019s full name, IRD number and tax code The employee\u2019s total gross earnings The amount of PAYE, including tax on scheduler payments Child support or student loan deductions if applicable KiwiSaver deductions KiwiSaver employer contributions if applicable Employer Superannuation Contribution Tax (ESCT) Start and finish dates if an employee starts or stops working for you during the pay period” title_text=”GST Calc” url=”https:\/\/www.reckon.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/bc3893a5-0d8c-4ed6-84f4-6af8fbcb9d12.pdf” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.24.2″ locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Copy paste body text here” _builder_version=”4.25.2″ header_2_font_size=”32px” header_2_font_size_tablet=”30px” header_2_font_size_phone=”26px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|tablet” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

For the calculation worksheet method, download the above worksheet and go through the steps to figure out the correct inputs for your BAS statement. The Business Activity Statement worksheet includes GST labels and fields for you to fill out if they apply to you.<\/p>\n

The worksheet will help you:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Calculate your GST on purchases.
\u2022 Calculate your GST on sales.
\u2022 Create a set of results to be transferred to your BAS submission.<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t actually submit this calculation worksheet when submitting BAS, it\u2019s simply there to help you arrive at the correct figures in the correct fields for subsequent BAS preparation and submission.<\/p>\n

Accounts method<\/h2>\n

The accounts method<\/a> is the other avenue of arriving at the correct BAS inputs for further submission.
To use this method, you need to use adequate accounting software or otherwise have a complete accounting method which displays enough information.<\/p>\n

To use the accounting method, your accounts need to be able to:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Display the GST amounts of all your sales, purchases and imports.
\u2022 Show all imports that were for making input taxed sales or were for private use.
\u2022 Identify all your GST-free sales or input taxed sales.<\/p>\n

If your accounts can offer all the above, you\u2019ll have what you need to correctly and fully fill out your BAS.<\/p>\n

Completing and submitting your BAS<\/h2>\n

Now that you have the inputs you need \u2013 which should be straightforward if you\u2019re using modern accounting software \u2013 you need to prepare and submit your BAS.<\/p>\n

The method you choose to complete and submit your BAS will depend on your business size, complexity, accounting skills, the time you can allocate to BAS preparation, and personal preferences. Let\u2019s have a look at the methods you can choose.<\/p>\n

Paper form<\/h2>\n

You can obtain paper BAS forms from the ATO and manually fill them out. This method is suitable for small businesses with straightforward transactions or without adequate accounting software.<\/p>\n

Online<\/h2>\n

A very common method is for you to fill out and submit your BAS with the ATO electronically. This can be done through the ATO’s Business Portal. If you\u2019re a sole trader, you can simply use your myGov account.<\/p>\n

Accounting software<\/h2>\n

Accounting Software like Reckon One’s BAS software simplifies your tax obligations by automatically calculating GST in real time and prefilling your BAS. You’ll be able to keep track of your tax liabilities and their due dates, enabling you to efficiently prepare your BAS statement, ready to lodge with the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).<\/p>\n

Use a registered BAS agent<\/h2>\n

Another option favoured by busy people and those with more complex businesses and regular BAS requirements, you can engage a registered BAS agent to assist in preparing and lodging your BAS. These professionals are authorised to provide BAS services.<\/p>\n

Whatever method you choose, it’s important to ensure accuracy and compliance with tax regulations. If in doubt, seek advice from a tax professional or the ATO.<\/p>\n
