Via your very own secure Freshwater Portal account, where you can also: chat with your accountant, access chat history grouped by topic, retrieve previous tax and BAS returns, securely send and store documents and even settle your invoice with our team. We separate personal accounts from company, trust and partnership accounts to make things clearer for you.

2. Via our website from your secure user account where you can also view and download handy tax resources. (Note – in order to maintain the tightest possible security, we do not facilitate a “save and continue later feature” under this method.

3. Download, complete and submit our simple-to-use editable PDF form.

Our Business Activity Statement Procedure

In order for our team to prepare your BAS we first need some information from you. This information includes: your business name and relevant contact details, information on your business income and expenses; as well as your signed authority approving us to assist with your BAS and bookkeeping as required. We like to capture as much information as possible from you about your business at the outset in order that we have the full picture of your situation.

Receipts

We are here to make your life easier. Please feel free to make use of our handy app (refer option 1 above), to securely upload and store your receipts. We will be looking at your summaries and totals only, so, unless specifically requested by a member of our team; there’s really no need to attach piles of receipts specifically to your BAS request. Regardless of whether you decide to use our portal to store your evidence, the main thing is that you must have all your receipts on hand in the event of an ATO audit. This responsibility lies with you as the taxpayer.

Next Steps

Once we have received your business activity statement request, you’ll receive confirmation and our team will get started. We will be in touch with you if we have any queries, including questions about your bookkeeping generally. Once we have prepared your BAS, we will email this through to you for review & digital signature if approved for lodgement with the ATO.

Will you prepare my tax return as well?

If you’ve requested that we prepare your June BAS, we strongly recommend that we prepare your personal / business tax return at the same time. Please view these pages on our website to submit through the appropriate request.
