Notes:
- quarterly BAS which are lodged via paper are due within 28 days after the quarter end. Business only receive the the 4 week extension if lodged electronically eg MyGov, software
- DO NOT lodge your BAS late as you will be fined (max 5 penalty units per BAS = currently $313 per unit as at 01/07/2023 (ATO link) = max $1,565 per BAS) and charged interest. Best calling the ATO on 13 11 42 before the BAS is due to request an extension
- You should be setting $ aside each week to ensure you have the funds to pay the BAS when due
| Quarter | Month | Due |

- Pay what the ATO asks unless you believe it is too high in which case it can be varied down
- If you believe it is going to be more set the additional amount aside for when your tax return is lodged
