You can email your MYOB / Quickbooks data file and we can do any adjustments and even lodge the BAS on your behalf

It’s time for the Business Activity Statements to be lodged! They are due in 28 days, and things get pretty hectic for bookkeepers in the weeks before the BAS are due for lodgment with the Australian Taxation Office (ATO)

We get enquiries from small – to medium sized businesses (SME’s) as they suddenly realise that the paperwork is all too much, and they need help in getting the bookkeeping upto date on time.

Many bookkeepers will be fully booked in the weeks leading up to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) deadline, and so last minute requests from clients can take some juggling of the calendar.

So when new clients contact us wanting urgent help, they need to get back to us with the same urgency to secure our services.

We rarely have to turn new clients away – as we have an excellent network of bookkeepers who we can call on to help out in times of need.

If you are needing a bookkeeper for the Business Activity Statement (BAS) lodgment that is due 28 October, then contact us right now so that we can schedule some time for you.

Remember, it’s never too late – and we may even be able to get an extension to the deadline on your behalf

Gone are the days when a “cash business” could hide earnings – thanks to Bill Gates and others in Silicon Valley, the ATO now has sophisticated data matching software.

They can compare similar businesses and create reports showing “average” turnover for a particluar business, and then cross-check against the tax return / BAS lodgment of that business.

It would be a huge job to be a bookkeeper for the Australian Taxation Office. During 2006/07 the Australian Government collected $135billion from individuals, and paid out $17billion in tax refunds

It’s no surprise that the ATO has so many more resources now than in days gone by for extracting every tax dollar from individuals and small businesses.

As bookkeepers, it seems most days we are working for the Australian Taxation Office, yet being contracted to small businesses in and around Robina / Varsity Lakes / Reedy Creek area.

During the period 2006/07 the ATO collected $40billion in GST, so of course the ATO is going to be doing everything within its means to ensure that every tax dollar is accurately reported.

Can A Business Hide Cash in Bookkeeping?
You may have a Car Wash business in Robina, or you may be an electrician in Reedy Creek, doing cash jobs. The ATO can make a reasonable estimate of your tax liabilities and then come along and audit your books.

If the records appear to be disorganised, it will take the ATO longer to look through them. The longer they take, the more they will see, and the more questions they will ask.

If you can present them with an organised and tidy bookkeeping system, they are less likely to ask too many questions.

In the last two days we’ve had calls from small business owners who understand that they cannot do everything that needs to be done to keep their business going.

One client had their brother-in-law set up the chart of accounts and show our client how to do the bookwork. That can work well sometimes, and can be a total disaster for others.
