Why I Don't Offer Budget BAS Services....

Many business owners assume that BAS lodgement is just about submitting numbers to the ATO - but the truth is, your BAS is only as accurate as your bookkeeping. If your data in Xero isn’t reviewed and cleaned up first, you could be overpaying GST, missing key deductions, or even lodging incorrect figures that might trigger an ATO audit.

That’s why I don’t offer budget BAS services - because a simple lodgement without a full review can lead to costly errors, compliance risks, and unnecessary stress. Instead, I conduct a thorough BAS review & lodgement to ensure accuracy, prevent issues, and save you money on accounting fees in the long run.

BAS AGENT

1. Your Xero Data Can’t Be Taken at Face Value

It’s a common misconception that if numbers are in Xero, they must be correct. However, bookkeeping errors - such as incorrect GST codes, duplicated transactions, and misallocated expenses - can lead to serious BAS errors. I conduct a full data review before preparing your BAS to identify and correct these mistakes before they become costly.

2. Avoid ATO Issues & Costly Amendments

Incorrect BAS lodgements can lead to unnecessary stress, potential ATO penalties, and time-consuming amendments. My thorough review process ensures your numbers are correct before submission, reducing compliance risks and giving you peace of mind.

3. Why My BAS Review Can Save You Money on Accounting Fees

A messy Xero file doesn’t just impact your BAS - it also creates issues at tax time. Cleaning up bookkeeping errors at the last minute means higher accounting fees and more stress. By ensuring your Xero file is in top condition every quarter, you’ll save money on tax preparation and avoid costly corrections.

When your financial data is accurate and well-organised, your accountant can focus on tax strategy rather than fixing bookkeeping errors - helping you maximise deductions and reduce overall tax costs.

4. Get More Than Just BAS Lodgement - Get Financial Confidence

When I review your BAS, I don’t just tick boxes. I help you:

✅ Identify inconsistencies in your records
✅ Ensure GST is being claimed correctly
✅ Keep your books tax-ready all year round
✅ Understand your financial position better

Ready for Stress-Free BAS Lodgement?

If you’re tired of guessing whether your numbers are correct, it’s time to stop settling for basic lodgement services.
