BAS

A quarterly BAS reporter needs to lodge by the following dates:

• 28 October
• 28 February
• 28 April
• 28 July

Public holidays and weekends mean that these dates fall on the next business day.

If you lodge monthly, it is due by the 28th day of the following month.

But what if my wages withholding is monthly and my GST is quarterly?

Yes, this does happen.  The wages is prepared on an Instalment Activity Statement and will be due on the 28th day of the following month UNLESS it is the GST quarter as well.  In that case, the quarterly dates above apply.
