BAS Return - Manual (Australia)

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

To complete a BAS Return for an Australian Company and transmit the data manually to the ATO when the ATO mails you the BAS Forms:

1. View the figures on the Calculation Sheet tab to ensure they are correct.
   • If you do not have AR, AP or CB installed, some or all fields can be blank - you must enter the appropriate figures.
   • Select the relevant module on the Source tab to check the source of the figures if you suspect that those shown on the Calculation Sheet tab 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 Print (Ctrl+P) to print a copy of the Form (including the Calculation Sheet and Source Data). BAS - GST Return Form opens, see Report Selections Form.
3. When you have finished the selections, click Run (F9) to print the BAS Return Form.
4. In BAS Return Form Assistant, click Accept. The status of the accepted return will change to Historic, and data in AR, AP and CB will be locked.
5. Copy data from the printout generated in Step 2 onto the BAS Form and post it to the ATO.
