GST and BAS your remote bookkeeper Mackay handles
Australia has a Goods and Services Tax (GST) of 10 per cent. Your bookkeeper records GST on every eligible sale and purchase, reconciles the GST account each quarter and prepares your BAS for the ATO. They flag GST-free and input-taxed items so your BAS is accurate before lodgement.
Mackay is the Whitsunday region's commercial hub. Key local sectors are coal mining, sugar production, tourism, healthcare and professional services. Mining firms track contract income, equipment billing and compliance costs. Agricultural and sugar businesses track production income, seasonal labour costs and freight billing. Tourism businesses track accommodation income and operating costs. Your bookkeeper handles all of these record types. Queensland does not observe daylight saving, so your bookkeeper runs on a consistent schedule year-round.
Your bookkeeper uses Xero or MYOB. They send a brief weekly report. You pick the tool; they work in it.
