Business Activity Statements / IAS Lodgements

BAS & IAS Lodgement Services – Stress-Free Compliance for Small Businesses

Managing your Business Activity Statements (BAS) and Installment Activity Statements (IAS) can feel overwhelming — especially when you’re focused on running jobs, managing cashflow, and keeping customers happy. The ATO deadlines don’t stop, and missing one can quickly lead to penalties or interest.

At TK Bookkeepers, we make BAS and IAS lodgements simple, accurate, and on time — every time. Whether you’re a tradie, small-business owner, contractor, or growing company, we’ll handle the entire process so you can stay compliant without the stress.

If you’re behind or have received ATO letters about missed lodgements, don’t panic — we deal with those every day. Our friendly team will help you get caught up and even work with the ATO to remove penalties where possible.

Why BAS & IAS Lodgement Matters

The ATO requires regular BAS and IAS lodgements to report your business taxes — including:

  • GST (Goods & Services Tax)

  • PAYG Withholding for employee wages

  • PAYG Instalments for business tax pre-payments

  • Fuel Tax Credits for eligible business use

  • Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT) instalments

Whether monthly, quarterly, or annually, these reports are essential for staying compliant — and getting them wrong can trigger audits or costly penalties.

Behind on BAS or IAS? We’ve Got You.

It’s common to fall behind on BAS or IAS lodgements, especially when business gets busy or cashflow is tight. The good news? We can fix it without the stress.

Here’s how we help:

  1. Review your ATO account and identify outstanding periods.

  2. Gather bank feeds, invoices, and receipts to reconstruct records.

  3. Prepare and reconcile each BAS/IAS accurately.

  4. Submit interest and penalty remission letters to the ATO explaining your circumstances.

  5. Negotiate payment plans if debts exist.

  6. Implement a system so future lodgements stay on time.

Most clients are surprised how quickly we can get them back into good standing — often with penalties reduced or completely waived.

We can bundle BAS/IAS lodgements with payroll, superannuation, FBT, and income tax services so everything is handled under one roof.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. “Do I need to lodge BAS if I earn under the GST threshold?”

If you’re not registered for GST and don’t withhold tax from employees, you may not need to lodge a BAS. However, you may still need an IAS for PAYG instalments or withholding. We’ll advise exactly what applies to you.

2. “I’ve missed several quarters. Will I get fined?”

The ATO may apply penalties and interest, but we can often have these remitted by writing a formal letter to the Commissioner. Our team has a strong record of getting penalties waived for genuine cases.

3. “Can you handle both BAS and IAS for me every quarter?”

Yes — we prepare and lodge both on your behalf and send you a summary of the amounts due and payment deadlines. We’ll even set up ATO payment plans if needed.

4. “Do you help with fuel tax credits?”

Definitely. We review your business vehicle and equipment usage to ensure you claim all eligible credits each quarter.

5. “I use Xero and MYOB. Can you lodge directly?”

Yes. We’re certified Xero, MYOB & QuickBooks advisors. We connect your software securely to prepare and lodge your BAS electronically — saving time and reducing errors.
