Common Questions

BAS Return FAQ

Single Touch Payroll Phase 2 requires employers to report more detailed payroll information to the ATO each pay event — including disaggregated income types, employment basis, and tax treatment codes. Most businesses were required to transition by 1 January 2022. We assess your STP2 compliance and configure your payroll system correctly.
Your business must register in each state where it employs workers once your Australia-wide wages exceed that state's threshold. For example, if total Australian wages exceed $1.2 million you must register in NSW. We assess your payroll tax obligations across all jurisdictions.
SG must currently be paid quarterly by 28 October, 28 January, 28 April, and 28 July. From 1 July 2026, payday super legislation requires payment on every payday. Late super results in the Super Guarantee Charge (SGC) which is not tax-deductible and incurs penalty interest.
Missing or underpaying super results in the SGC. The SGC includes the shortfall amount plus 10% interest per annum from the start of the quarter plus a $20 per employee per quarter administration charge. The SGC is not tax-deductible. We help businesses get back on track and lodge SGC statements where required.
Employers must finalise STP data for each employee by 14 July following the end of the financial year. This makes employees' income statement information available in myGov. We manage payroll reconciliation and STP finalisation by this deadline each year.
