Q.
A.		 Can you lodge / prepare my BAS?
According to the Australian Taxation Office only tax agents can lodge your BAS. However if we work under the supervision of a Tax agaent we are allowed to organise the information in such a way that you can;
a. complete the BAS yourself from the information we provide you.
b. get the tax agaent to lodge it based on the information we provide them with which is much cheaper than having them prepare it from scratch.
Q.
A.		 I do all my own bookkeeping, why should I give it to Complete Accounts?
This does depend on how you value your time. It is more than probable that your time should beworth more than $25.00 per hour in which case it would be better to use Complete Accounts do it. In addition we are experts in bookkeeping, and we stay abreast of all changes. Plus we do all the other things you should be doing such as backing up regularly, updating changes in awards etc...
