Frequently asked questions FAQs
When you lodge via a Registered Tax Agent, you generally receive an extra four weeks past the standard due date for quarterly BAS lodgments and payments (e.g. Q1 due in November instead of October; Q2 due in February instead of January).
In Australia, you must register for GST within 21 days of your annual business turnover reaching or being projected to reach $75,000 (or $150,000 for non-profit organizations), or immediately regardless of turnover if you provide taxi or ride-sourcing services (like Uber).
Under the cash accounting basis, you account for GST in the reporting period in which you receive payment or pay an invoice. Under accruals (non-cash), you account for GST in the period you issue an invoice or receive an invoice, regardless of when cash changes hands. We advise on which method best suits your cash flow.
