Good Day,

I am too embarseed to admit, but I have been fined by the ATO for late submission of the BAS ! twice !

At least the friends at the ATO are kind enought to send me an SMS the day before the BAS is due, so I know when I am going to be hit with the fine and prepare myself, LOL :-)

This is why I am always looking for ways to make the BAS submission an ever more easier process, so I will not have any excuse to delay it again and again. If you'll watch the little video below you will see that we've gotten this to a pretty amazing speed...

Under one minute to submit your BAS!

Not sure if you noticed but this is the 'simple' BAS form which includes only the PAYG/G1-G4 fields and not the GST fields, but the form is exactly the same for each of the 22 different BAS flavours in existance.

Have you ever forgotten to submit you BAS? do you find yourself postponing your bookkeeping tasks? if you tell me about it maybe we can do something to help.
