BAS Preparation and Lodgement Price
Price for the sole traders normally in the range of $75 to $250 and for companies from $100 to $450.
How The Entire Process Works?
We require the client to provide us with data/figures for BAS lodgement. Either the client compiles the figures or we could do it on their behalf if you are doing bookkeeping services with us.
Once the data is received we prepare the BAS report and discuss it with the client.
A thorough discussion on the BAS report is done which involves:
- Among payable and possible ways to reduce the debt as per ATO conditions.
- The profitability for the quarter and a forecast for the future if required by the client.
- Tax effective strategies to reduce the final debt and also the annual profit.
- Other GST and tax strategies as per the specific needs of the business
These strategies are discussed quarterly so that there are no surprises at the end of the year as it is hard to implement any tax effective strategy once the year end has reached.
