Features / Activity Statements
BAS and IAS, prepared from clean books, lodged direct to the ATO.
Business Activity Statements. Instalment Activity Statements. Prepared from the same ledger that generated your invoices, processed your bank feeds, ran your payroll. Lodged direct to the ATO via Standard Business Reporting — no portal login, no export-and-upload, no reconstruction. The books are the source; the lodgement is the confirmation.

For accountants
From the ledger, to the ATO.
Clean books in. Clean BAS out.
When BAS time comes, every field is already populated — GST on sales from your invoices, GST on purchases from your categorised expenses, PAYG withholding from your payroll, PAYG instalments from your tax position. You open the draft, review the fields, adjust anything that needs adjustment, and lodge. The platform shows the working for every field so you can trace any number back to the transactions underneath it.
No portal, no upload, no copy-paste.
The platform talks to the ATO's Standard Business Reporting service directly. Lodgement is one click from the draft — no logging into the ATO portal, no exporting a form, no re-keying numbers. The submission confirmation comes back in real time, with any errors surfaced against the specific field.
TAN-scoped lodgement for tax agents.
Accountants registered as tax agents lodge the client's BAS using their Tax Agent Number; the client's ABN appears on the lodgement. The client does not need their own AUSkey or direct ATO access. The accountant serves the client, the lodgement is compliant, and the audit trail shows exactly who lodged what when.
