Why Should I Work With A BAS Agent?

Any business registered for goods and service tax (GST) needs to submit a Business Activity Statement to the Australian Tax Office. This statement enables businesses to report and pay their GST, pay as you go tax instalments and withholding tax as well as other taxes due. However, this is where it gets complicated.

There are various different forms which businesses can complete and although BAS statements are traditionally issued quarterly, some parts of it are required to be submitted annually while others need to be submitted quarterly. Depending on your business structure and income, you may be required to submit your activity statements on an even more frequent basis such as monthly or weekly too!

BAS Accounting in Brisbane 

Every year businesses throughout the country are faced with completing and filing their business activity statements (BAS). While initially, this may seem like a task that can be handled in-house, once face-to-face with this serious legal document, the reality of what is required quickly becomes apparent. If you are getting ready to prepare a BAS for your Brisbane business, then you really need to think seriously about who is going to complete the work. 

At Watson & Watt, we are the help businesses with BAS in Brisbane. Having worked our way up from a family of small business owners, we appreciate that sometimes the budget dictates the choices that you make. However, when it comes to preparing your BAS, choosing an unregistered bookkeeper over a registered agent could cost you more money in the long run. 

Since the ATO regulated the bookkeeping industry a certain professional standard is required for those that complete the BAS for a company. The reason why is because many inexperienced bookkeepers acting in good faith in the past, ended up costing their employers a lot of money as a result of the unprofessional work that they completed. 

A professional was usually required to clean up the mess in the aftermath of the errors being highlighted and this brought both more expense and stress. We want to afford you the chance to avoid these problems and get on with doing what you do best.
