October 2026 · BAS preparation
BAS coming up? Get the records ready before the rush.
The standard due date for lodging and paying the July–September quarterly BAS is 28 October. Eligible online lodgers and registered-agent clients may have later dates. Confirm the date on your statement or with your agent; do not assume a concession applies to you.
Prepared · Maida Vale, Western Australia
Before the BAS is prepared, reconcile your accounts and collect missing invoices. Review sales, expense records and GST coding, particularly unusual purchases, private-use items or transactions you have not dealt with before. Where relevant, make sure payroll and PAYG withholding records are ready too.
Lodging and paying are separate tasks. Know the expected payment amount and plan your available cash. If payment looks difficult, raise it early rather than leaving an unlodged statement unattended.
Demeter can help you clarify the work required and the records needed. Appointments are available by phone or online, with local meetings by arrangement from our Maida Vale base.
