BAS Return - Electronic (Australia)

Navigator > Tasks > Goods and Services Tax > BAS Return Form

To complete a BAS Return for an Australian Company:

1. View the figures on the Calculation Sheet on the Return tab to ensure they are correct.
   • If you do not have AR, AP or CB installed, some or all fields can be blank. If this happens, you must enter the appropriate figures and submit the BAS Form manually.
   • Select the relevant module on the Source tab to check the source of the figures. If those shown on the Calculation Sheet are incorrect or incomplete, once you have identified the source module at fault, refer to the GST Audit Report for that module.
2. When you are satisfied with the information on the Calculation Sheet tab, click Electronic.
3. Select the file previously exported from the ECI Client to be updated with the GST information. Click Open. Accredo updates the file to import into the ATO's Electronic Commerce Interface.
4. Click Print (Ctrl+P) to print a copy of the Form (including the Calculation Sheet and Source Data). Click Run (F9) to print the BAS Return Form.
5. Leave the Accredo session open, go back to the ATO's Electronic Commerce Interface and import the file updated in Step 4, complete the BAS Form and transmit it to the ATO.
6. Once the information is sent, go back to the BAS Return Form Assistant in Accredo. Click Accept. The status of the return will change to Historic, and data in AR, AP, and CB will be locked.
