Registered BAS Agents for Complete Compliance
As registered BAS agents, Evergreen ensures every lodgement meets Australian Taxation Office (ATO) requirements and reflects accurate business data. We review your financial records, identify discrepancies and provide advice on GST, PAYG and other key components of your BAS submission.
Our registered agents stay up to date with changing ATO regulations, giving you peace of mind that your BAS and GST reporting are always compliant. This accuracy helps you avoid penalties and ensures your records align with your accounting system and tax returns.

We also provide clear summaries that explain what has been reported and why, giving you full visibility and understanding of your business tax position.
GST and PAYG Reporting Made Simple
Accurate GST and PAYG reporting are essential for compliance and cash flow management. Evergreen reviews your records to ensure all input tax credits, sales and purchases are reported correctly. We also provide advice on GST registration, activity statement cycles and cash versus accrual accounting methods.
For PAYG obligations, we help calculate and report employee tax correctly while maintaining alignment with your payroll and accounting systems. Our goal is to keep your reporting consistent and fully supported by your financial data.
BAS Assistance for Small Businesses and Not-for-Profits

FAQ
What is a Business Activity Statement (BAS)?
A Business Activity Statement (BAS) is a form submitted to the ATO to report and pay GST, PAYG withholding, PAYG instalments and other tax obligations. Businesses registered for GST are required to lodge a BAS — either monthly, quarterly or annually depending on their turnover and ATO registration. Missing a BAS due date can result in penalties and interest charges.
Who is required to lodge a BAS in Australia?
Any business registered for GST must lodge a BAS. Businesses with annual GST turnover of $75,000 or more are required to be registered for GST. Not-for-profit organisations with turnover over $150,000 are also required to register. Voluntary GST registration is possible below these thresholds.
What if I haven't lodged BAS in years?
This is more common than you think. We can help:
1. Identify all outstanding BAS periods
2. Reconstruct BAS from your accounting records
3. Lodge all overdue BAS (often with an explanation to the ATO)
4. Manage penalties and interest
5. Set up ongoing quarterly compliance
The ATO is often willing to work with businesses that pro-actively lodge overdue returns.
Don’t ignore the problem — contact us for a confidential consultation.
What are the BAS lodgement due dates?
Quarterly BAS are typically due on the 28th of the month following the end of each quarter (i.e. 28 October, 28 February, 28 April and 28 July). Monthly lodgers have a 21-day window after month-end. Businesses using a registered BAS or tax agent like Evergreen qualify for extended due dates under the ATO’s agent lodgement program.
Do I need a BAS agent?
Not legally required, but highly recommended. BAS agents:
– Reduce errors (accuracy is important for compliance)
– Manage deadlines (no missed lodgements)
– Handle ATO inquiries professionally
– Provide quarterly advice (optimise GST position)
– Save you time and stress
Many businesses handle BAS themselves, but registered BAS agents reduce audit risk and ensure
compliance. The cost is usually $300–$600 per quarter, which often saves money through better
GST management.
What is the difference between a BAS agent and a tax agent?
A BAS agent is registered with the Tax Practitioners Board to prepare and lodge BAS and other indirect tax obligations on behalf of clients. A tax agent is additionally authorised to prepare income tax returns and provide tax advice. Evergreen holds both registrations, meaning the firm can handle the complete range of ATO lodgement obligations for clients.
What happens if I lodge my BAS late?
The ATO imposes failure-to-lodge penalties for late BAS, calculated based on the period overdue and the size of the business. Interest charges also accrue on any unpaid amounts. Evergreen monitors all BAS due dates for clients and lodges on time — and if you have overdue BAS, Evergreen can assist with catching up and negotiating with the ATO on your behalf.
Can Evergreen help if my BAS has errors from a previous period?
Yes. If a previously lodged BAS contains errors — for example, incorrectly claimed GST credits or missed income — Evergreen can review, prepare and lodge an amended BAS. The ATO allows corrections to be made by lodging a revised activity statement or through a next-period adjustment, depending on the nature and value of the error.
Does Evergreen prepare BAS for not-for-profits?
Yes. Not-for-profits registered for GST must lodge BAS in the same way as commercial businesses, but with specific GST concessions that apply to charitable activities. Evergreen understands the GST treatment applicable to NFPs, including input-taxed activities, GST-free supplies and the specific reporting requirements for organisations with mixed activities.
