BAS/IAS and Tax Returns
for Businesses

Do you receive a Business Activity Statement (BAS) or IAS (Income Activity Statement) and don’t really understand all of the ins and outs?

Don’t understand why you are receiving bills from the tax office, or being told that you owe tax?

At Arabon, we can help you to understand your BAS or IAS, and can act as your tax office liaison.

It’s as easy as that.

Partnerships, Companies and Trusts

Whether you run your business in your own name as a sole trader or work inside a legal structure such as a partnership, trust or company, then Arabon is able to help you. We have over 20 years experience in assisting businesses of all sizes. Our client base include startups turning over less than $1200 per annum to larger businesses turning over more than $12 million every year.

Financial Reporting

We prepare formal "special purpose" financial reports for our business clients. These reports are typically required by lending institutions to support finance applications.

As part of the process, our accountants will review your bookkeeping and can assist with reconciling your business bank accounts and credit card statements. If you are looking for ongoing assistance with bookkeeping, we would be happy to refer you to Matrix Business Solutions. Their bookkeepers work closely with our accountants to make sure that bookkeeping questions are resolved immediately rather than waiting until tax time.

Tax Planning

As your business becomes more profitable, effective tax planning lets you legally minimise your tax while still meeting your tax obligations. Your Arabon accountant will sit down with you before the end of the financial year to work out the best ways for your business to only pay the tax that it needs to.

State Payroll Tax

If you need help with Queensland payroll tax, one of our accounting team can lend a hand. Or it may be as simple as needing a little assistance with preparing and submitting your PAYG summaries each July. Either way, Arabon can help.

Much More Than Your Tax Accountant

Meeting your tax obligations might be your immediate concern.  But there's more to accounting than just tax.

We can help you and your business in a wide range of areas. For example, we can help you analyse the best option for buying or leasing quipment and go on to prepare Special Purpose Financial Statements in support of any loan application.

Concerned about protecting your assets or your revenue? We can talk to you about the advantages and disadvantages of different legal structures that you might consider for protecting your assets. While we are not financial planners, we can give you general advice about income protection insurance and point you in the direction of specialist advisors who can work through your particular needs.

Growing your business from a small into a medium enterprise? Arabon will organise a one day workshop for you, your managers and key advisors to work though some of the issues involved.
