Panacea WFS prepares BAS and GST workpapers for Australian businesses and accounting practices. We reconcile GST, PAYG withholding and instalments to the ledger and payroll, document every figure, and hand a review-ready file to you or your registered agent for sign-off and lodgement.
What we prepare for each BAS
- GST reconciliation from the general ledger to the BAS figures
- Review of tax codes, with corrections and exceptions listed
- PAYG withholding reconciled to payroll and Single Touch Payroll reports
- PAYG instalment workings where applicable
- Variance analysis against prior periods, with explanations
- A query list for the client, so your reviewer isn’t chasing information
Lodgement stays with your registered agent
We prepare the work; we do not lodge it. Final review, sign-off and lodgement of BAS and tax returns stay with you or your registered tax or BAS agent. That keeps the arrangement compliant: in Australia, anyone providing BAS services for a fee must be registered with the Tax Practitioners Board. We do the preparation; your agent keeps control of the review and the lodgement.
Monthly, quarterly and annual cycles
Businesses lodge BAS monthly, quarterly or annually depending on their GST turnover and elections. We plan the work around each client’s cycle so workpapers arrive before the due date, not on it.
Starts with clean books
BAS is only as good as the ledger behind it. Pair this service with our outsourced bookkeeping to keep each month reconciled. For background on Australian GST and income tax, read our Australian income tax guide for 2026–27.
Questions Australian clients ask
Can you lodge our BAS?
We prepare the work; we do not lodge it. Final review, sign-off and lodgement of BAS and tax returns stay with you or your registered tax or BAS agent. Anyone providing BAS services for a fee in Australia must be registered with the Tax Practitioners Board.
What do you need from us each period?
Access to the accounting file, bank feeds or statements, and the payroll reports for the period. We send a short query list for anything we can’t resolve from the records.
Can you handle monthly and quarterly BAS clients?
Yes. We plan the work around each client’s lodgement cycle so workpapers are ready well before the due date.
