BAS - Business Activity Statement

Businesses use activity statements to pay and report various tax obligations, including FBT instalments, PAYG (instalments and withholding), GST, and related tax obligations. They also use activity statements to pay deferred company and superannuation fund instalments. Individuals use activity statements to pay quarterly PAYG instalments.

Lodgement of your Business Activity Statement (BAS) is required by law. It has to be lodged to the ATO monthly or quarterly depending on your annual turnover.
