GST & BAS
A BAS workbench that assembles the period from your own sales, purchases and payroll — computed, checksummed and ready to take to your lodgement.
Updated 3 August 2026
What it is
The BAS workbench assembles your Business Activity Statement from data the platform already holds: GST on sales from your orders, GST credits from your supplier bills, and wages and PAYG withholding from your finalised pay runs. Every period is computed, snapshotted with a checksum, and marked off when you lodge.
What problem it solves
BAS time usually means a shoebox of reports from different systems — the register says one thing, the payroll export another, and someone reconciles them at 11pm before the due date. When sales, purchases and payroll live in one system, the statement assembles itself and every figure can be traced to its source.
How it works
-
Each quarter opens as a BAS period with its due date, and the workbench shows what's coming due at a glance.
-
When the period ends, compute it: total sales and GST on sales come from your orders, non-capital purchases and GST credits from your supplier bills, and total wages and PAYG withholding from your finalised pay runs. Net GST is worked out for you, and the computed payload is snapshotted with a checksum so the figures can't silently drift.
-
Review the line items, then take the figures to your lodgement — through your myGov, tax agent or accounting software as you do today — and mark the period submitted in NexDine so the record is complete.
-
If the figures change after lodgement, raise an amendment against the original period with a reason — the amendment chain keeps the history honest. Every compute and submission writes to the audit log.
Everything inside the system
- Quarterly BAS periods with due dates and status from open through computed to lodged.
- Computed line items for total sales, GST on sales, non-capital purchases, GST on purchases, wages and PAYG withholding — each traceable to orders, bills and pay runs.
- Checksummed payload snapshots and a full audit trail on every action.
- Amendment chains with reasons, and PAYG instalment period tracking.
- Consumer prices across the platform are shown GST-inclusive — the number a guest sees is the number they pay — so the GST position is built into every sale from the start.
This is built into NexDine — there is no separate tax reporting tool to buy. NexDine prepares and records; the lodgement itself is yours to make through the ATO channel or agent you already use. Payroll's STP export is prepared the same honest way, covered on the payroll page.
