SOLE TRADER AND UNSURE ABOUT BAS?

Understanding your BAS obligations isn’t always straightforward, particularly when your business is growing or your circumstances change.

A few common situations where BAS may be required:
👉 You’re registered for GST
👉 Your turnover is getting close to $75k
👉 You registered for GST earlier than expected
👉 You’re doing rideshare or similar work
👉 You have staff and need to manage PAYG withholding

With the September quarter BAS due 28 October, now is a good time to make sure your bookkeeping is up to date and everything is ready to lodge.

At Shoebox Books Kew, we can help with:
✅ BAS preparation & lodgement
✅ Bookkeeping & reconciliations
✅ GST, payroll & PAYG

⚠️ ATO penalties have increased — staying on top of your obligations matters!

With the current penalty unit now $330, keeping on top of your reporting and lodgement obligations is more important than ever.

For small businesses, failure-to-lodge penalties can increase the longer an obligation remains overdue — so keeping your books accurate, knowing what’s due and lodging on time matters.

At Shoebox Books Kew, we’re Registered BAS Agents, helping you stay on top of:

📚 Accurate and up-to-date bookkeeping
🧾 BAS preparation and lodgement
💰 GST and PAYG obligations
👥 Payroll and reporting
📅 Important lodgement dates

Less time worrying about what’s due — and more confidence that your obligations are being looked after.

🌱🔨 Spring can mean one thing for many tradies — things start getting BUSY.

More enquiries. More jobs. More materials. More invoices. And potentially more people on the tools.

But when the workload picks up, the paperwork can quickly become the thing that gets pushed to “I’ll do it later.”
Before you know it, invoices haven’t been followed up, receipts are everywhere, your books are behind and BAS time has rolled around again.

This spring, make sure your bookkeeping can keep up with your business. 😊

At Shoebox Books Kew , we can help with bookkeeping, payroll, BAS, bank reconciliations and keeping your numbers organised — so you can spend more time getting the jobs done.
🔨 Busy season ahead? Let’s get your books ready for it!

Sales are up. So why doesn’t your bank balance look like it? 🤔
It’s one of the most frustrating parts of running a business. You’re busy, customers are buying, invoices are going out and the numbers say things are moving in the right direction… but the cash in the bank tells a different story.

Sales, profit and cash flow are not the same thing.
Your money could be tied up in unpaid invoices, GST and tax obligations, wages and super, supplier payments, loan repayments or simply the timing between money coming in and bills going out.
And when you don’t have a clear picture of your cash flow, it can be difficult to know what you can actually afford to spend, invest or take out of the business.

At Shoebox Books (YOUR TERRITORY), we help business owners get closer to their numbers — not just at BAS or tax time, but throughout the year.

With accurate, up-to-date bookkeeping and a clearer understanding of what’s coming in and going out, you can spot cash flow pressure earlier and make more informed decisions about what comes next.
Because a busy business is great. A business that understands its cash is even better. 💙

Do you know exactly how your business is performing right now?

Your bookkeeping isn't just about meeting tax obligations — it's one of the most valuable tools for making informed business decisions. 💼

When your books are accurate and up to date, you can clearly see:
✅ How your business is really performing
💰 Where your money is going
📈 Your cash flow and profitability
🌱 Opportunities to improve and grow with confidence

When your records fall behind, it's much harder to make confident decisions or plan for what's next.

At Shoebox Books Kew, we help small business owners keep their bookkeeping accurate, organised and up to date, so they always have a clear picture of their business.

If your bookkeeping has fallen behind—or you'd simply like greater confidence in your numbers—we're here to help.

✔️ One less thing for you to worry about.

⚠️ Is your payroll system ready for Payday Super?

From 1 July 2026, super must be paid with every pay run — not quarterly.
That means more frequent processing, less room for error, and a greater need for your payroll system to be set up correctly.

Ask yourself:
✅ Is your payroll calculating super correctly?
✅ Are employee super details complete and up to date?
✅ Have you tested your payroll process before the changes take effect?

At Shoebox Books (YOUR TERRITORY) as registered BAS Agents, we help local business owners stay compliant, navigate payroll obligations, and prepare for important changes like Payday Super.

We can review your payroll setup, identify potential issues, and help ensure your systems are ready before the new requirements begin.

Don't wait until July to discover a problem!

📞 Book a Payroll Review today and find out if your business is ready for Payday Super.
