Stay Compliant Without the Stress
Navigating Australia’s tax system can be complex — especially when GST, PAYG, and tax deadlines come knocking. Equal Books offers expert GST reporting & tax filing services to help small businesses stay organised, compliant, and confident. Whether you’re new to GST or just need help keeping up, we provide reliable support that removes the guesswork and avoids penalties.
We serve sole traders, small businesses, and growing companies Australia-wide through cloud-based platforms that make reporting simple. With our help, you’ll never miss a lodgement, and you’ll have a clear understanding of what’s due, when, and why.
What Is GST and Why Does It Matter?
Goods and Services Tax (GST) is a 10% tax applied to most goods and services sold in Australia. If your business earns over $75,000 per year, or $150,000 for not-for-profits, GST registration is required by law.
Once registered, you’ll need to report GST collected and paid through regular Business Activity Statements (BAS). This includes tracking sales, purchases, and expenses with the correct GST coding. Inaccurate reporting can lead to ATO penalties, cash flow issues, or audit red flags.
Our GST reporting service ensures your transactions are coded properly, reconciled with your accounts, and reported in full compliance with ATO guidelines. We prepare and lodge your BAS, track your obligations, and answer any questions you have along the way.
Why Professional BAS Support Matters
Customised Support
We tailor every service to your operations, systems, and budget. Whether you’re a tradie, consultant, or running an online store, our team ensures your bookkeeping suits your workflow and industry requirements.
Cloud-Based Efficiency
We use secure, cloud-based accounting tools like Xero, QuickBooks, and Dext. You can access your finances anytime, anywhere. Say goodbye to paper receipts and hello to real-time visibility and automatic backups.
Registered BAS Agent on Your Side
Having a registered BAS agent means your BAS lodgements are managed correctly and submitted on time. No more last-minute rushes or compliance stress.
Rescue Bookkeeping to Get You Back on Track
If you’ve fallen behind, our Rescue Bookkeeping service can catch you up – whether it’s five months or five years. We conduct a full health check and create a clear action plan to update your books efficiently.
More Than Just Bookkeeping
Need help with admin, ASIC compliance, or setting up your business? We support you with practical services that remove the stress from starting and running a business.
Tax Filing That’s Timely and Accurate
Alongside GST, your business needs to meet annual tax filing obligations. This involves preparing and lodging income tax returns with the Australian Taxation Office. Depending on your structure (sole trader, company, trust, etc.), these returns vary in complexity.
Equal Books provides streamlined, error-free tax filing services in partnership with qualified tax professionals. We make sure your financial records are in order and that your tax return is submitted on time — with all eligible deductions claimed and no last-minute stress.
How Our Services Work Together
Our strength lies in integrated support. Many clients come to us for both tax and bookkeeping services, ensuring a smooth process from transaction entry to tax lodgement. This means:
- No gaps between bookkeeper and tax agent
- Consistent data and reporting
- Fewer errors and faster lodgements
- Ongoing visibility of your financial position

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to register for GST if I earn under $75,000?
Not necessarily. It’s optional below that threshold, but some businesses choose to register so they can claim GST credits. We’ll help you decide what’s right based on your structure and industry.
How often do I need to report GST?
Most businesses report quarterly, but some may have monthly or annual reporting depending on their ATO registration. We help track your lodgement schedule and ensure everything is submitted on time.
Can you help if I’ve missed past BAS or tax filings?
Yes. We offer catch-up support and can work through backlogs to bring everything up to date. We also communicate with the ATO on your behalf to negotiate extensions or payment plans if needed.
Do you offer tax advice too?
We work closely with trusted tax agents and accountants to deliver comprehensive bookkeeping and tax preparation. While we manage day-to-day records and BAS, our partners can provide tax planning and advisory as needed.
What software do I need?
We support Xero, QuickBooks, and MYOB. If you’re not yet using software, we can help you set it up and train you on the best tools for small business tax services.

GST and tax aren’t just about paperwork — they’re essential to protecting your business. Inaccurate reporting or late lodgement may result in:
