Business Activity Statements BAS are due on 2 March 2010 for businesses that report their GST obligations quarterly

With the Christmas holiday period over for many small businesses, it’s time to get all your paperwork together and get it to your bookkeeper or outsourced bookkeeping service- to report on the 2nd quarter (1 September to 31 December 2009) to get your BAS lodged on time.

Maybe the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) does have a heart, after all. Rather than asking for lodgements on 28 January, they automatically give everyone an extension to the BAS lodgements to 28 February. This is, of course, a Sunday. However, the next business day is not Monday, since it’s a public holiday in Western Australia. Thus the Q2 BAS is due on 2 March 2010

However, don’t be fooled by their grace, because there is NO WAY that they’ll consider granting an extension after that date. So you need to ensure that you have your Business Activity Statement lodged by 2 March 2010

Those that control the purse strings have the power.

In any society, money talks. So why should it be any different in your business? Many small business owners in the Northern Suburbs of Perth are so busy being focused on the every day stuff in their business, that they look at the bookwork as being a chore rather than a fundamental part of the business. Whatever accounting software package you use, be it MYOB or Quickbooks, you should be able to access financial reports showing your business position in seconds.

Have a look at your daily operations, and ask yourself this one question:

Who is in control of your business? Are you, the business owner in control? or is it really you clients that are dictating your daily tasks?

Do you have a handle on your financial position each day or week or each month or quarter? Is your bookkeeping upto date? Can you ask your bookkeeper for the relevant MYOB or Quickbooks reports each day or each week, so that you can make informed decisions regarding your business?

Is the tail wagging the dog, or is the dog wagging the tail?

Have a serious look at the operations of your business. Is it your clients that are dictating when you can take time off? Or do you have that choice? Is it your clents who are deciding when you should be paid, or are you in control of your business cash flow?

Many people are returning to work today after the Christmas / New Year break.

With lower interest rates, lower fuel prices and Kevin Rudd throwing money around like it’s burning a hole in his pocket, what is in store for 2009?

The Australian Taxation Office continue on their relentless search to hammer small business owners and squeeze every last cent out of them. Meanwhile, at the big end of town, multi-nationals and large corporations seem to get away with paying very little tax in comparison.

We’ve seen an increase in small business owners receiving the dreaded ATO letter chasing possible outstanding taxes. Maybe you’ve been a little slack in submitting your Business Activity Statements (BAS) lodgments, and need some help in preparing the paperwork to complete the returns. Contact us here for details

Happy New Financial Quarter!

For some business owners the BAS is a pain in the neck

As we enter Q2 for 2008/09 the world of finance seems to be in turmoil, but guess what? The Australian Taxation Office still want you to lodge your Business Activity Statements.

Regardless of what’s happening (or not) in Wall Street or George Street, businesses around the Mitchell Freeway and Karrinyup Road still need to get their bookwork sorted out for the quarter ending September 30 2008, to have the BAS done by 28 October 2008.

Are you struggling with your bookkeeping?

For some business owners the BAS is a pain in the neck, so they brush it aside and put it in that special place, the “TOO DIFFICULT Pile”

Trouble is, that really doesn’t fix the bookwork, and without a bookkeeper, or someone who’s got a handle on the bookkeeping, those Nollamara or Gwelup business owners that are not addressing the problem may soon find that they get fan mail from the ATO.

Contact Us today, and we’ll help you get your bookkeeping sorted out

PS - We are not Registered Tax Agents, we are recognised BAS service providers by the ATO

We were approached by a client in Balcatta who’s been using her accountant to do her bookeeping!

The accountant, in Stirling, had set up everything for her, but things had got out of hand. We organised for one of our book-keepers to go and see her, and let us sort out the mess.

In her wisdom, she decided that she’d speak to her accountant before we started. Then she came back to us explaining that the accountant would look after everything.

Maybe she doesn’t realise that accountants too outsource bookkeepers who may be using Quickbooks or MYOB acounting software, and then add a nice little (big) markup to add to their profits - so the client actually ends up paying more fees for less work.

Anything that you can do that will save them time, such as keeping your books in good shape, will save you money.

You can dramatically reduce your accountant’s bills by taking care of your own day-to-day finances.

Ever wondered why your accountants’ eyes light up when you present them with a shoebox full of dockets at the end of the financial year?

The accountants will charge their time to you and pay bookkeepers rates to get the work done. So the accountant has just made a very nice profit from a business owner who desperately needs to tighten up business operating costs.
