Use the Business Activity Statement screen to generate a report of information to enter on your BAS A - Quarterly business activity statement. The report includes a worksheet that shows details about how the amounts on the report were calculated.
More information and resources about business activity statements are available on the ATO website. For example:
To generate a BAS report:
- Common Services > Australia Tax Reports > Business Activity Statement.
- In the From Fiscal Year/Period and To Fiscal Year/Period fields, specify a range of periods to include in the report.
- Click Refresh.
Values are calculated and displayed in fields for all BAS labels that are set up to be calculated. For more information, see Setting Up Australia Tax Reports.
- Review the calculated values on all tabs, and adjust them if necessary.
To adjust a value, enter an adjustment amount in the +/− field, or directly change the value in the field for the label. For example, if the calculated value in the G1 field is 50,000, and you need to adjust this down to 49,000, you can either enter -1,000 in the +/− field, or you can directly change the G1 field to 49,000. If you directly change the G1 field, -1,000 is automatically entered in the +/− field.
- Save the information on the screen by clicking Add or Save. (After you click Add, the button changes to Save.)
You can save only one set of information for any particular range of periods. So if you change some information and then click Save, the information that was previously saved for the range is replaced.
- If you have not saved the information on the screen, and you change the range of periods, all information on the screen is lost.
- When you click Save, information is immediately replaced. There is no confirmation message.
- Click Print.
