The pattern for monthly business activity statements is the 21^st of the following month.  So January is due 21^st February and so forth.  Monthly BAS are good for people who don’t like the big hit once a quarter and would prefer to get 3 smaller amounts.

Can you make the due dates? When a due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday, you can lodge or pay on the next business day. If you need help with your BAS lodgement, please get in touch 7 days before the due date, at the latest. Are you struggling to get your BAS done in time ? If you are struggling with your BAS lodgement date and are not normally late, we can negotiate extensions with the ATO on your behalf. You need to contact us before the due date.  Also talk to us about how a cloud accounting software package could ease the burden at BAS time and get you out of the office.
