GST, BAS, IAS, deadlines and paperwork — compliance is where small business owners lose sleep. GGBAS keeps every obligation tracked, prepared and lodged on time, so the ATO is never a source of stress.
We live and breathe Australian small business compliance. With more than 20 years of experience, we know exactly what the ATO expects and how to keep your business ahead of every due date.
From GST registration through quarterly BAS to year-end records, we maintain a compliance calendar for your business, prepare accurate figures from clean books and work alongside your accountant so nothing is ever missed.
Your activity statements are prepared from reconciled, up-to-date books — not a shoebox of receipts in the final week. We track every due date, prepare the figures and make sure lodgement happens on time, every quarter.
Correct GST coding is where most BAS errors start. We check registrations, apply the right tax codes to every transaction and review the unusual ones — imports, exports, GST-free items — so your BAS is right the first time.
BAS, IAS, super, PAYG instalments and payroll obligations all run on different clocks. We keep a single compliance calendar for your business and start preparing well before anything falls due.
If the ATO ever asks questions, the answer is in the file: reconciled accounts, source documents attached and a clear trail behind every number. That preparation turns a stressful audit into a routine exchange.
Late lodgements attract penalties and interest, and a backlog only compounds. Our team has kept more than 500 Australian small businesses compliant — including plenty who came to us months or years behind. We bring the records up to date, clear the backlog and set a rhythm that keeps you permanently ahead of the ATO calendar.
Good compliance is a team sport. GGBAS prepares accurate, reconciled figures and complete records, then works hand in hand with your accountant or registered tax agent for lodgements and tax advice. The result is faster turnarounds, fewer questions and a smaller bill at tax time.
Most small businesses lodge quarterly, with due dates around the 28th of the month after each quarter ends — and extensions may apply when lodging through an agent. We track your exact dates and prepare well in advance.
The ATO applies failure-to-lodge penalties and general interest charges, and repeated lateness attracts attention. If you are already behind, we can bring your lodgements up to date and help arrange a payment plan.
Registration is required once your turnover reaches $75,000 (or from day one for ride-share and taxi drivers). We monitor your turnover, handle the registration at the right time and set up your books for GST from the start.
Yes — catch-up compliance is one of the most common jobs we take on. We reconstruct the records, reconcile the accounts, prepare the outstanding statements and get you back on track with the ATO.
No — we complement them. We keep the books accurate and compliance-ready all year, and your accountant handles income tax returns and structural advice. Clean books usually mean a noticeably smaller accounting bill.
It depends on your transaction volume and how much catching up is needed. Book a free 15-minute financial clarity call and we will give you a clear, fixed price — no surprises and no lock-in contracts.
