Can your business survive a tax audit?

The Australian Taxation Office have been engaged in extensive programs of visiting Small Businesses to check if they are keeping adequate bookkeeping records. Can your business survive a tax audit? Contact us for a review of your bookkeeping system

Section 262A of the ITAA 1936 requires that a person running a business to keep records that expalin and record all transactions. The documentation must be kept for a minimum of five years

If the ATO find that your bookkeeping is inadequate, then the taxpayer will be informed and advised to improve the record keeping operation, and your business will be revisited in six months.

The ATO has a list of records to be inspected and will contact you for a suitable time to review your bookkeeping and record keeping procedures

Struggling with your Business Activity Statement (BAS) lodgment?

You can email your MYOB / Quickbooks data file and we can do any adjustments and even lodge the BAS on your behalf

It’s time for the Business Activity Statements to be lodged! They are due in 27 days, and things get pretty hectic for bookkeepers in the weeks before the BAS are due for lodgment with the Australian Taxation Office (ATO)

We get enquiries from small - to medium sized businesses (SME’s) as they suddenly realise that the paperwork is all too much, and they need help in getting the bookkeeping upto date on time.

Many bookkeepers will be fully booked in the weeks leading up to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) deadline, and so last minute requests from clients can take some juggling of the calendar.

So when new clients contact us wanting urgent help, they need to get back to us with the same urgency to secure our services.

We rarely have to turn new clients away - as we have an excellent network of bookkeepers who we can call on to help out in times of need.

If you are needing a bookkeeper for the Business Activity Statement (BAS) lodgment that is due 28 October, then contact us right now so that we can schedule some time for you.

Remember, it’s never too late - and we may even be able to get an extension to the deadline on your behalf

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 Campbelltown and Bankstown 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 Northe Beaches 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
