BAS (Australia)
Note: The ability to use the BAS Returns feature for other countries will be available in future releases.
The BAS Returns feature guides the user through the following stages:
Prepare (review and select) properties to prepare for a specific BAS
Review selected properties and drill down to transactions
Generate files for selected properties
Download BAS Summary and GST Summary files in .csv format. The downloaded files contain the relevant information required to complete the actual BAS Returns.
To get started, navigate to Finance > Global Functions > BAS Returns and follow the steps.
Step 1: To Prepare
When navigating to the BAS Returns screen for the first time, you will need to create a new BAS Return by specifying the BAS Period. To do this, select New > BAS Return in the main menu and select the period of the available options.
When a BAS Returns period is set, the system will automatically display all GST Registered properties due for BAS returns in the selected period based on property accounting settings. All properties will load with a default status of Pending. The following information will be automatically populated for each property:
- Property Name
- Plan Number
- BAS Method (Cash or Accrual, based on property accounting settings)
The following fields will be blank when the screen loads, and will need to be populated to proceed. This may be done manually or by uploading a .csv file containing the data using drag&drop functionality.
- DIN (Text input - ATO generated document number)
- Form (Drop-down selection - options are A, B, C, D, F, R or U)
- T7 (Amount - provided by ATO/Tax agent)
- T2 (Amount - provided by ATO/Tax agent)
Click on the pending items link to display a list of the properties. On this screen, you may opt to remove properties that should not be included in the specified BAS Return. If properties are removed in error, an option is available to restore removed properties to the list.
When all properties have been reviewed to ensure the data is correct, use the Process button to advance to the next step.
Step 2: In Progress
When navigating to Step 2, the properties selected in Step 1 will display in the list. Here, you will be able to:
View details of the transactions included in the BAS Return period and also in the previous period. The detailed transaction view provides the ability to Include, Defer or Exclude each transaction.
Generate the BAS Worksheet.
When all properties have been reviewed to ensure the data is correct, use the Move to Next Step button to proceed.
Step 3: Pending File Generation
When navigating to Step 3, the properties selected in Step 2 will display in the list, ready for file generation. Select the properties to finalise and use the Generate Files button to proceed.
Step 4:
When navigating to Step 4, the .csv files generated for properties selected in Step 3 will display in the list:
