Business activity statement (BAS) reporting is used by businesses in different countries for various purposes, as follows:

  • In Australia, businesses use BAS reporting to declare their goods and services tax (GST), pay as you go (PAYG), and fringe benefits tax (FBT) obligations to the tax authorities.

  • In Czech Republic, the Netherlands, Portugal, and Slovakia, BAS reporting is used to declare all kinds of transactions that are subject to value added tax (VAT) to the tax authorities.
