Business activity statement (BAS)

This article provides information about the Business activity statement (BAS) for Australia. The BAS is a form that all businesses submit to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) to report their taxation obligations.

The Business activity statement (BAS) feature is designed to help you fill in your BAS. The statement resembles the calculation worksheet that the ATO provides when you receive the BAS form in the mail.

The BAS includes the following taxation liabilities:

  • Goods and Services Tax (GST) amounts that you owe the ATO from sales
  • GST amounts that the ATO owes you from purchases
  • Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG) Tax Withheld
  • PAYG Installment
  • Fringe Benefit Tax (FBT)

Set up sales tax reporting codes

Set up sales tax reporting codes by following the instructions in Set up sales tax reporting codes. The following reporting codes are associated with fields on the BAS report.

You can also set up the following reporting codes. However, we recommend that you use reporting codes 1013 through 1015, which generate both field G10 and fields G13 through G15, because the amount in field G10 of the BAS report must contain the amounts in fields G13 through G15.

Generate an E-BAS XML file

In the Print Australian BAS dialog box, set the Generate E-BAS option to Yes to generate the E-BAS statement. If you set this option on the Select a file page, browse to the XML file that you want to use as a template.

For example, create an XML template file that contains the following information.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<DATA>
        field ID="fA1">BAS1</field>

        <field ID="fMANUAL_MODE">true</field>
    <FIELD\_LIST>
    </FIELD\_LIST>
</DATA>

Replace the values in the fA1, fA3, and fA4 fields with the document identification number and dates that you require. To use this XML file as a template, browse to it on the Select a file page.

Note

If you've previously selected the Generate E-BAS option, you don't have to generate the XML file again the next time that you run the procedure. Instead, follow these steps:
