The Tax Hive
BAS, GST & PAYG Support Camden NSW
Keeping your obligations clear, calm and under control.
BAS, GST, PAYG ATO letters, quarterly deadlines, EOFY preparations...
It can feel like a lot.

Common FAQs
What is a BAS?
A BAS, or Business Activity Statement, is used by businesses to report and pay certain tax obligations.
This can include GST, PAYG withholding, PAYG instalments and other obligations depending on the business.
What is GST?
GST stands for Goods and Services Tax.
​
If your business is registered for GST, you generally need to include GST in your prices, keep records, report GST and pay amounts to the ATO through your activity statement.
What is the difference between PAYG withholding and PAYG instalments?
PAYG withholding usually relates to amounts withheld from payments made to employees or some other payees.
​
PAYG instalments are different. They are regular prepayments toward expected income tax on business or investment income.
​
Both can appear in activity statement obligations, but they are not the same thing.
Can you help if my BAS is overdue or my records are behind?
Yes.
​
Sarah can help review what information needs to be gathered, what records need attention and what may need to happen next.
​
There is no judgement. Many business owners fall behind because they are busy running the business.
Can clean bookkeeping make BAS easier?
Yes.
​
Clean bookkeeping makes BAS preparation much easier because income, expenses, GST coding, receipts and reconciliations are already more organised.
​
If your books are messy, Sarah may recommend bookkeeping support or a Xero tidy-up before BAS preparation.
What is TPAR?
TPAR stands for Taxable Payments Annual Report.
​
Some businesses that pay contractors in certain industries may need to report those payments to the ATO each year.
​
Sarah can help review whether this may be something your business needs to look into and what information may need to be organised.
What should I do if I receive an ATO letter?
Do not ignore it, but do not panic.
​
ATO correspondence usually needs to be read carefully so you can understand what it relates to, what information is being requested and what the deadline is.
​
Sarah can help you review the letter and work out the next practical step.
What is a Director Penalty Notice?
A Director Penalty Notice is a serious notice that can make company directors personally liable for certain unpaid company obligations.
​
If you receive one, you should act quickly and seek the right professional support.
​
Sarah can help you get organised, understand what the notice relates to and identify what information or specialist advice may be needed.
Do you lodge BAS or provide tax advice?
This depends on the scope of work and the registration requirements that apply.
​
Some BAS and tax services must be provided by a registered BAS or tax agent. Where registered agent support is required, Sarah will confirm the appropriate scope or work with the right professional support.
The Tax Hive is designed to help you get clearer, more organised and better prepared.
Do you offer BAS, GST and PAYG support in Camden, Narellan, Campbelltown and Western Sydney?
Yes.
​
SM Consulting Group is based in Spring Farm and supports businesses across Camden, Narellan, Gregory Hills, Campbelltown, Macarthur, Western Sydney and NSW.
​
Support may be provided online, in person or through a mix of both depending on the service.
How much does BAS, GST and PAYG support cost?
The cost depends on what your business needs.
​
A one-off GST coding review will look different from quarterly compliance support, tax-time organisation or ATO correspondence support.
​
The best starting point is to book a discovery call so Sarah can understand what is happening and recommend the right next step.
