Business activity statement (BAS)

Article
07/11/2024

This article provides information about the Business activity statement (BAS) for Australia. The BAS is a form that all businesses submit to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) to report their taxation obligations.

The Business activity statement (BAS) feature is designed to help you fill in your BAS. The statement resembles the calculation worksheet that the ATO provides when you receive the BAS form in the mail.

The BAS includes the following taxation liabilities:

Goods and Services Tax (GST) amounts that you owe the ATO from sales
GST amounts that the ATO owes you from purchases
Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG) Tax Withheld
PAYG Installment
Fringe Benefit Tax (FBT)

Set up sales tax reporting codes

Set up sales tax reporting codes by following the instructions in Set up sales tax reporting codes. The following reporting codes are associated with fields on the BAS report.

Report layout	Reporting code	Report text	Report setup	Field on the BAS report
GST
Default	1	G1 Total sales & income and other supplies	Taxable sales and Sales tax payable	G1
Default	2	G2 GST free exports	Tax-free sales or Taxable sales	G2
Default	3	G3 Other GST free supplies	Tax-free sales or Taxable sales	G3
Default	4	G4 Input taxed sales & income and other supplies	Taxable purchases and Sales tax receivable	G4
Default	7	G7 Adjustment payable	Sales tax payable	G7
Default	10	G10 Capital acquisitions	Taxable purchases and Sales tax receivable	G10
Default	11	G11 Other acquisitions	Taxable purchases and Sales tax receivable	G11
Default	18	G18 Adjustment (credit)	Sales tax receivable	G18
Default	1013	G10 and G13 Acquisitions for making input taxed sales, income, and other supplies	Taxable purchases and Sales tax receivable	G10 and G13
Default	1014	G10, G14 Capital acquisitions with no GST in the price	Tax-free purchases or Taxable purchases	G10 and G14
Default	1015	G10, G15 Capital acquisitions for private use or with non-deductible tax Note: On the Sales tax codes page (Tax > Indirect taxes > Sales tax > Sales tax codes), enter a value in the Non deductible field for the sales tax code that uses this reporting code in the setup.	Taxable purchases and Sales tax receivable	G10 and G15
Default	101	1C Wine equalization tax payable	Sales tax payable	1C
Default	102	1D Wine equalization tax refundable	Sales tax receivable	1D
Default	201	1E Luxury car tax payable	Sales tax payable	1E
Default	202	1F Luxury car tax refundable	Sales tax receivable	1F

You can also set up the following reporting codes, and then make transactions or manually fill in corresponding fields of the BAS report. For more information, see the Generate additional BAS report boxes for the settlement period section later in this article.

Report layout	Reporting code	Report text	Field on the BAS report
Default	700	7 Deferred company/ fund installment	7
Default	701	7A Deferred GST on imports	7A

Default	400	4 Pay-As You Go Withholding	4
Default	501	5A Pay As You Go Installment	5A
Default	502	5B Credit arising from reduced Pay As You Go installment	5B
Default	31	W1 Total of salary, wages, and other payments	W1
Default	32	W2 Amounts withheld from salary, wages, and other payments	W2
Default	33	W3 Amounts withheld from investment distributions where no TFN is quoted	W3
Default	34	W4 Amounts withheld from payment of invoices where no ABN is quoted	W4
Default	51	T1 Installment income	T1

Default	601	6A Fringe benefit tax installment	6A
Default	602	6B Credit arising from fringe benefits tax installment	6B
Default	61	F1 ATO-calculated fringe benefits tax installment	F1
Default	62	F2 Estimated total fringe benefits tax payable	F2
Default	63	F3 Varied fringe benefits tax installment	F3

You can also set up the following reporting codes. However, we recommend that you use reporting codes 1013 through 1015, which generate both field G10 and fields G13 through G15, because the amount in field G10 of the BAS report must contain the amounts in fields G13 through G15.

Report layout	Reporting code	Report text	Field on the BAS report
Default	13	G13 Acquisitions for making input taxed sales & income and other supplies	G13
Default	14	G14 Acquisitions with no GST in the price	G14
Default	15	G15 Non-income tax deductible acquisitions	G15

Generate an E-BAS XML file

In the Print Australian BAS dialog box, set the Generate E-BAS option to Yes to generate the E-BAS statement. If you set this option on the Select a file page, browse to the XML file that you want to use as a template.

For example, create an XML template file that contains the following information.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<DATA>
        field ID="fA1">BAS1</field>
        <field ID="fA3">1/1/2020</field>
        <field ID="fA4">31/3/2020</field>
        <field ID="fMANUAL_MODE">true</field>
    <FIELD\_LIST>
    </FIELD\_LIST>
</DATA>

Replace the values in the fA1, fA3, and fA4 fields with the document identification number and dates that you require. To use this XML file as a template, browse to it on the Select a file page.

Note

If you've previously selected the Generate E-BAS option, you don't have to generate the XML file again the next time that you run the procedure. Instead, follow these steps:

Go to Settings > User options.
Select Usage data.
On the General tab, select Reset.

Print the BAS report from Sales tax payments page

Go to Tax > Inquiries and reports > Sales tax inquiries > Sales tax payments.
Select the required line.

Example

Generate the BAS statement

The following example shows how you can set up sales tax codes and sales tax reporting codes, post transactions, and generate and print the BAS report. It uses the USMF legal entity.

Go to Organization administration > Organizations > Legal entities.
On the Tax registration FastTab, in the Tax registration number field, enter AU89434123400.
Go to Tax > Indirect taxes > Sales tax > Sales tax codes, and set up the following sales tax codes.

Sales tax code	Percentage	Description
CAPITAL	10	Capital acquisitions at a rate of 10 percent.
GST	10	Taxable sales and purchases at a rate of 10 percent.
NONDED CAP	10 (non-deductible part = 25%)	Capital acquisitions at a rate of 10 percent, where the non-deductible part of tax is 25 percent.
EXPORTS	0	Export sales where the Exempt option is set to Yes.
FREE	0	GST-free sales and purchases where the Exempt option is set to Yes.
CAPFREE	0	GST-free capital acquisitions where the Exempt option is set to Yes.
LUX	10	Luxury car sales and purchases at a rate of 10 percent.

On the Report setup FastTab, assign reporting codes to sales tax codes.

The following table shows how to assign the sales tax reporting codes to sales tax codes.

Sales tax code	Taxable sales	Tax-free sale	Sales tax payable	Taxable purchases	Tax-free purchase	Sales tax receivable
CAPITAL				10		10
GST	1		1	11		11
NONDEDCAP				1015		1015
EXPOTRS	2	2
FREE	3	3
CAPFREE				1014	1014
LUX			201			202

Note

This configuration is just an example and depends on the structure of the sales tax codes that are used. If you want values to be calculated and transferred to the sales tax report, for each tax code that is used in the sales tax payment process, you must set a relevant sales tax reporting code in one or more fields on the Report setup tab.

Post the following transactions.

For example, for customer invoices, go to Accounts receivable > Invoices > All free text invoices. For vendor invoices, go to Accounts payable > Invoices > Invoice journal.

Date	Transaction type	Amount net	VAT amount	Sales tax code	Amount is expected on the reporting code	Amount is expected on BAS report in the field
January 1, 2020	Customer invoice	2,000	200	GST	1	G1
