from local bookkeepers
The ATO has introduced legislation affecting bookkeepers who provide BAS related services to clients. How do you make sure that your bookkeeper is ATO approved?
As a result of a recent change in Australian legislation, all bookkeepers that currently provide BAS services for your and charge a fee for that service must consequently be registered as BAS Agents.
BAS services include:
- Preparing or lodging an approved form for a client that relates to GST, PAYG Withholding, PAYG Instalment or FBT;
- Giving advice about these obligations; Or
- Dealing with the ATO on behalf of a client in relation to these obligations.
A bookkeeper may be exempted from this legislation where they are:
- A member of a Professional Association;
- Working under the direction of a Registered Tax Agent; Or
- A payroll service provider preparing BAS only for PAYG withholding obligations.
