Bas Lodgement Agent in Perth
Universal Taxation Services has been helping small & medium sized businesses lodge their BAS, GST and PAYG returns since many years. For those business owners who are registered for GST, you must lodge a BAS for each period, whether it is monthly, quarterly or annually.
We put together all your transactions for the quarter and prepare a summary BAS for your review. We then carefully check the records, ensuring all GST input credits are recorded before preparing a final BAS. We then send you BAS for your review and then we can either lodge your BAS or you can lodge your BAS. We can also provide information and advice on GST matters. Timely lodgements save money.
