introductory BAS Agent Services in Australia

If you are an accountant in Australia or are considering setting up an accounting practice, you should be aware of a change in the law that will allow you to provide business accounting reports (BAS) for a fee by registering as a BAS agent. This legislation is currently in its final stages and, once enacted, will require accountants wishing to provide BAS services for a fee to register as a BAS agent or work under the direction of a tax advisor or BAS agent services in Australia. This has raised concerns among accountants who wish to integrate SAR services with their regular accounting services, as many small business owners expect their accountants to perform all SAR-related functions.
