Lodged on time, explained in plain English
BAS and IAS, PAYG, and tax returns for companies, trusts, partnerships and individuals.
As a registered tax agent, we prepare and lodge your activity statements and tax returns. We explain what you owe and why, and plan ahead so payments do not catch you short.
What's included
- BAS and IAS preparation and lodgement
- GST, PAYG withholding and PAYG instalments
- Company, trust, partnership and individual tax returns
- Tax planning before 30 June
- ATO correspondence and payment plans
- Year-end financial statements
Why it matters in hospitality
GST and PAYG withholding are collected on someone else's behalf, which makes them easy to spend by accident. We link tax planning to your cash flow forecast so the money is there when lodgements fall due.
BAS, GST and tax questions
When is my quarterly BAS due?
The ATO's quarterly due dates are 28 October (July to September), 28 February (October to December), 28 April (January to March) and 28 July (April to June). Monthly BAS is due on the 21st of the following month. You may get extra time if you lodge through a registered tax or BAS agent.

Do I charge GST on food and drinks?
Usually, yes, for hospitality. The ATO lists "all food and beverages for consumption on the premises from which they are supplied" and "all takeaway hot food and beverages" as taxable. Some cold takeaway food can be GST-free, so we check how each item is set up in your POS.

Can a director be personally liable for company tax debts?
Yes. Under the director penalty regime, the ATO says directors may become personally liable for the company's unpaid PAYG withholding, GST and super guarantee charge. The ATO can recover the penalty 21 days after it issues a director penalty notice.

Do you help with tax planning before 30 June?
Yes. We review your result before year end, explain what tax is likely to be payable and when, and link it to your cash flow forecast so the money is set aside.
