Our BAS agent online services cover everything from GST reporting to PAYG, superannuation, and fringe benefits tax. We take care of the preparation, review, and lodgement so everything is accurate, on time, and you can focus on running your business.
At Webb Financial, we are registered tax agents with the Tax Practitioners Board. We can provide the full scope of BAS services and tax agent services under the Tax Agent Services Act 2009.
We prepare your business activity statement accurately and lodge it on time with the Australian Taxation Office, whether you report monthly, quarterly, or annually. You receive confirmation of every lodgement and a summary of what has been reported.
We calculate your goods and services tax liability, reconcile GST collected on sales against GST credits claimed on purchases, review transactions for correct coding, and ensure your BAS reflects the right amount. If your business is voluntarily registered or approaching the $75,000 threshold, we advise on the most efficient reporting method for your situation.
If you employ staff, you must withhold tax from their wages and report it to the ATO through your BAS. We manage your PAYG withholding obligations, ensure the correct amounts are withheld and reported each period, and reconcile withholding against your payroll records.
If you are a sole trader, the ATO will enter you into the PAYG instalment system if your instalment income is $4,000 or more, your tax payable is $1,000 or more, and your estimated notional tax is $500 or more. Once you are in the system, you make prepayments of income tax throughout the year, reported through your BAS. We calculate your installments, advise on whether to vary them based on your current trading position so you are not overpaying or underpaying, and ensure they are reported correctly each period.
We help you meet your superannuation guarantee obligations, including calculating contributions at the current rate of 12%, managing payment deadlines, processing contributions through a clearing house, and reporting super liabilities correctly. Late or incorrect super payments attract the super guarantee charge, which is not tax deductible, so getting this right matters.
We set up and maintain your payroll systems, ensure correct tax withholding, manage Single Touch Payroll reporting, and reconcile payroll data against your BAS and income tax obligations. Clean payroll records reduce the risk of errors that flow through to your activity statement.
Before every BAS lodgement, we review your data to ensure transactions are coded correctly, income and expenses are recorded in the right period, and there are no discrepancies between your accounting software and your bank records. This step catches errors before they get to the ATO.
If your business provides non-cash benefits to employees, we calculate and report your fringe benefits tax liability, identify exempt benefits, and ensure your FBT return is lodged by the 21 May deadline each year. FBT operates on its own reporting cycle (1 April to 31 March), which many businesses overlook.
If your business sells or imports vehicles above the LCT threshold, we calculate your liability and report it through your BAS.
For businesses that manufacture, wholesale, or import wine, we manage your WET obligations, including producer rebate claims and correct reporting on your activity statement.
If your business uses fuel in machinery, heavy vehicles, or other eligible activities, you may be able to claim fuel tax credits through your BAS to reduce your overall tax cost.
Under the Tax Agent Services Act 2009, anyone who provides BAS services for a fee must be registered with the Tax Practitioners Board. This is a legal requirement, not a nice-to-have. Using an unregistered provider puts your business at risk. You lose access to safe harbour provisions, which means you may be personally liable for penalties if your BAS contains errors, even if you relied on someone else to prepare it.
A registered BAS agent or tax agent carries professional indemnity insurance, meets ongoing education and experience requirements, and is bound by a code of professional conduct. This gives you a layer of protection and a standard of skill that an unregistered bookkeeper or a DIY approach cannot provide.
Webb Financial is a registered tax agent, which means we can provide the full range of BAS services as well as broader tax, accounting, and advisory services.
We start with a review of your current BAS position. If you have been lodging yourself or using another provider, we check previous lodgements for accuracy, flag any issues, and clean up your records before we take over. If you are setting up for the first time, we configure your accounting software, connect your bank feeds, and establish the coding structure that makes ongoing BAS lodgement efficient.
From there, BAS lodgement becomes part of our regular workflow. Before each due date, we reconcile your accounts, review your transactions, prepare your statement, and lodge it with the ATO. You receive a summary of what has been reported, what you owe, and when payment is due.
If something does not look right, such as an unusual expense, a spike in GST credits, or an employee payment that does not reconcile, we raise it with you before lodging. This is where experience matters. Catching an error before it reaches the ATO is always better than correcting it after an audit.
We integrate BAS lodgement with your broader accounting and tax obligations, so your activity statements feed directly into your tax return, your cash flow reporting, and your year-end planning without any duplication or gaps in your data.
We are registered with the Tax Practitioners Board and carry professional indemnity insurance that meets TPB requirements. When we lodge your BAS, you are covered by safe harbour provisions, which can protect you from administrative penalties in certain circumstances.
Your BAS connects to your income tax, super, payroll, cash flow, and your business tax planning. We manage all of these together. Your BAS is not just lodged for compliance; it becomes a tool that gives you real-time information about how your business is performing. As your business grows, we can also assist with asset protection strategies to ensure your business and personal wealth are structured correctly.
We review and reconcile your transactions before every lodgement. That means fewer ATO queries, fewer amended statements, and less risk of penalties or audit attention.
BAS lodgement is included in our ongoing accounting packages, priced on a fixed fee basis with no surprises. We never charge extra for a phone call or email about a BAS question during the year.
We work with Xero and cloud-based accounting software to streamline data entry, automate bank feeds, and reduce the manual effort involved in preparing your BAS. If your current software setup is creating more work than it should, we can review and improve it.
Our offices are based in Wollongong, Shellharbour, and Ramsgate. If you’re not local to these areas, we can still work with you to lodge your BAS online using cloud-based software and ATO online portals. If we need to get in touch, we can organise a video conference or a teleconference.
01
A business activity statement is a form you submit to the Australian Taxation Office to report your GST, PAYG withholding, PAYG instalments, and other tax obligations. If your business is registered for GST or has employees, you need to lodge a BAS, usually on a quarterly basis. Some businesses lodge monthly or annually, depending on their turnover and entity type.
02
A BAS agent is registered to provide services related to activity statements, including GST, PAYG, superannuation, payroll, and fringe benefits tax reporting. A tax agent can provide all BAS services plus broader tax advice, tax return preparation, and representation with the ATO. Webb Financial is a registered tax agent, which means we cover the full scope of BAS and tax services under one roof.
03
The ATO can impose a failure to lodge penalty for each 28-day period your BAS is overdue. If you also owe a payment, a general interest charge applies from the due date. Using a registered tax agent gives you access to extended lodgement deadlines.
04
If a previous BAS was lodged with errors such as incorrect GST coding, missed transactions, or wrong PAYG amounts, we can prepare and lodge a revised activity statement with the ATO. We review your historical lodgements when we onboard your business so any issues are identified and corrected early.
05
BAS lodgement is included as part of our ongoing fixed fee monthly accounting packages. The cost depends on the size and complexity of your business, transaction volume, number of employees, reporting frequency, and whether we also manage your bookkeeping. Your first consultation is free, and we provide a clear quote before any work begins.
06
There is no ATO requirement to use a particular software product, but cloud-based accounting software like Xero makes the process significantly more efficient. It automates bank feeds, categorises transactions, calculates GST, and generates BAS-ready reports. We set up and support Xero for most of our clients and can migrate you from other platforms if needed.
07
Yes. We can onboard your business at any point during the financial year. We review your previous BAS lodgements, reconcile your records, and take over from wherever your current provider left off. The transition is straightforward, and we manage the handover so there is no gap in your reporting.
Whether you need someone to take BAS lodgement off your plate, want a review of how your current setup is working, or are starting a new business and need everything set up from scratch, your first meeting with us is completely free.
