As the vibrant hues of spring give way to the warm embrace of summer, November heralds a critical time for small business owners. While you're gearing up for the busy season ahead, it's crucial to keep track of important financial deadlines. Your friends at HelloLedger are here to ensure you don't miss a beat. Here's your November checklist:
Key Dates for November:
7th November - October Monthly Payroll Tax: Ensure your payroll tax obligations for October are met by this date. Payroll tax can be complex, so it’s a good idea to have your records in order.
21st November - October Monthly BAS/IAS Due: Your Business Activity Statement (BAS) or Instalment Activity Statement (IAS) for October needs to be lodged and paid by this date. This is a crucial step in keeping your business compliant with the Australian Tax Office (ATO) requirements.
25th November - September Quarter BAS Due (when lodging with a tax agent): If you’re lodging your September quarter BAS through a tax agent, this extended deadline applies to you. This gives you a bit more breathing room to get your financials in order, but don’t leave it to the last minute!
