Frequently Asked Questions

How often do I need to lodge a BAS?
Most small businesses lodge BAS quarterly. Businesses with annual turnover over $20 million must lodge monthly. Businesses with turnover under $10 million may opt to report GST annually. Your BAS cycle is assigned by the ATO when you register for GST.
What happens if I lodge my BAS late?
Late lodgement attracts a Failure to Lodge (FTL) penalty of $313 for each 28-day period the BAS is overdue, up to a maximum of 5 periods ($1,565). Late payment of the BAS amount also incurs interest (General Interest Charge) at approximately 11% per annum.

BAS is due quarterly: 28 October, 28 February, 28 April, and 28 July. Late lodgement attracts penalties starting at $313 per 28-day period. Small businesses with turnover under $10 million can report GST annually. Lodge online through myGov, your accounting software, or your BAS agent.
