How often do I need to lodge my BAS?

Ann Mackey

The due date for lodging and paying is displayed on your BAS (business activity statement) .

If the due date is on a weekend or public holiday, you have until the next business day to lodge and pay.

Your GST reporting and payment cycle will be one of the following.

  • Quarterly – if your GST turnover is less than $20 million – and we have not told you that you must report monthly.
  • Monthly – if your GST turnover is $20 million or more.
  • Annually – if you are voluntarily registered for GST and your GST turnover is under $75,000 ($150,000 for not-for-profit bodies).

A registered tax or BAS agent like Bizwize can help you lodge your activity statements.
