Frequently asked questions about ABN BAS
Who is ABN BAS and how can they assist BAS and non-BAS Agents?
ABN BAS is a registered BAS Agent that provides BAS services exclusively to ABN members and their clients across Australia.
ABN BAS shares four of the same directors as ABN, all of whom are registered Tax Agents and either Chartered Accountants or CPAs in their own right.
ABN BAS has provided BAS services since the commencement of the BAS Agent legislation on 1 March, 2010. Even prior to this, ABN was very active in this space, having offered a BAS certification service under the former S.251L regime to help bookkeepers Australia-wide become registered BAS Agents since 2001.
As a registered BAS Agent in its own right, ABN BAS is the perfect resource for bookkeepers who wish to provide BAS services, whether you are an experienced BAS Agent, a newly registered Agent, or not a BAS Agent at all.
ABN BAS holds BAS Agent number 91970004 and is listed on Tax Practitioner Board’s Online Tax and BAS Agent Register.
To find out how we can help you or how to become a registered BAS agent, choose from the tabs below depending on whether you are a non-BAS Agent or BAS Agent.

Supplementary BAS ServicesAlong with lodging BAS for clients, there are many other BAS services (including a range of communications with the ATO) that you're not permitted to provide to clients unless you're a BAS Agent. ABN BAS can provide these services to your clients on your behalf. |

Protection with the best P.I Insurance that money can buyP.I. Insurance for non-BAS Agents isn't mandatory, but to operate any business without adequate protection is foolhardy.

The ABN policy is feature rich and complies with all requirements of the Tax Practitioners Board. |
