It happens to good businesses
A busy quarter, a bookkeeper who left, an illness, a software migration that went wrong. One missed BAS quietly becomes six. It is far more common than people think, and it is completely fixable.
We rebuild the books first
Most overdue BAS problems are really overdue bookkeeping problems. We reconstruct from bank statements and source records, reconcile every account, then lodge from figures that will actually stand up.
Penalties can often be remitted
Failure-to-lodge penalties and general interest charge can be reduced or remitted where there is a reasonable explanation. It is worth asking properly, in writing, and we do that as part of the catch-up.
You may be owed a refund
Businesses carrying GST credits on unlodged quarters are often owed money, not liable for it. Avoiding lodgement out of fear can quietly cost you thousands.
Common questions
How far back can you go?
As far as you need. Multi-quarter and multi-year catch-ups are routine, and we usually lodge them together once the books are rebuilt.
Will I get in trouble?
Coming forward voluntarily is treated far more favourably than being chased. Penalties exist but can often be remitted, particularly on a first occurrence with a reasonable explanation.
What if I cannot pay the GST owing?
We can help you engage with the ATO about a payment arrangement for activity statement debt. A debt on a plan is manageable; a debt ignored is not.
My records are a mess. Can you still help?
Usually yes. Between bank feeds, statements and source documents we can generally reconstruct a clean set of books.
What does it cost?
From $180 per quarter for a simple file, plus a quoted catch-up fee for the bookkeeping rebuild. You get the total in writing before we start.
