Mr Murray Crowe

Assistant Commissioner

Australian Taxation Office

Constitution Avenue

CANBERRA   ACT   2600

 

 

Dear Mr Crowe

 

SUBMISSION

MONTHLY BAS DEADLINES

 

Following my submission to you dated  August 3 concerning the deadlines and workloads applicable to businesses and bookkeepers I have been approached by a number of my members.

 

Their concern is that I didn’t not raise the issue that also applies for those businesses who are on a Monthly lodgement cycle for the BAS.

 

For a business and their advisors subject to monthly BAS requirements during the period of late June through to mid August a business in Australia must adhere to the following regulatory requirements in order to meet their obligations and avoid penalties or prosecution:

 

1)      BAS for the month of May by June 21

 

2)      Superannuation obligations for the year to be checked, reconciled and reported.

 

3)      Final quarters superannuation to be paid before June 30 in order to receive tax deduction

 

4)      Alternatively Superannuation amounts to be reconciled, paid and notified before July 28 in order to avoid penalty.

 

5)      Final employee pay for the financial year.

 

6)      End of year reconciliation of payroll, preparation of Payment Summaries and submission to ATO of yearly reconciliation.

 

7)      BAS for June by July 21.

 

8)      Preparation of end of year financial information, in conjunction with BAS work etc

 

SUBMISSION

Therefore in addition to our earlier submission in relation to the deadlines we would propose that the ATO allow those businesses on a monthly BAS cycle an extension for the lodgement of the BAS that applies for the month of June. 

 

The submission date is currently July 21 and we would submit that an extension to the  August 21 would be appropriate.

 

Please consider the above in conjunction with submission dated  August .

 

Yours faithfully

 

 


Matthew Addison

Executive Director
