BAS Expertise for Melbourne's hospitality, retail and multi-award businesses

Melbourne's hospitality and retail sectors generate some of Australia's most complex BAS obligations — mixed food and beverage supplies, input-taxed financial services, FBT on meals, and entertainment expenses that straddle the GST boundary. A generalist bookkeeper often gets these wrong. Our registered BAS agents are experienced in the GST nuances that Melbourne's high-volume hospitality and retail businesses face every quarter.

Victoria's lowest-in-Australia payroll tax threshold means precise PAYG coding in BAS is critical. Our BAS agents provide the accurate PAYG and GST records your compliance obligations demand — not just a quarterly lodgement tick.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a registered BAS agent in Melbourne do?

A registered BAS agent prepares and lodges your Business Activity Statement — calculating GST obligations, PAYG withholding, and any other reportable amounts — and is legally authorised to act on your behalf with the ATO. OrtúsPro Global's BAS agents are registered with the Tax Practitioners Board.

How much does a BAS agent cost in Melbourne?

BAS agent services typically cost $300–$800 per quarter for basic lodgement, or $500–$2,000+ per month for ongoing bookkeeping plus BAS as part of a managed service. OrtúsPro Global bundles BAS preparation with bookkeeping for a fixed monthly rate.

Can a BAS agent also handle my payroll and PAYG reporting?

Yes. Our BAS agents work in conjunction with your payroll processing to ensure PAYG withholding amounts are correctly coded and reconciled in every BAS. We also manage STP Phase 2 reporting which the ATO cross-references against your BAS lodgements.

Do I need a local Melbourne BAS agent or can I outsource?

BAS agent services are fully deliverable remotely via cloud accounting platforms. You do not need a local agent — you need a qualified, registered one. OrtúsPro Global's team accesses your Xero or MYOB file directly and lodges BAS through the ATO's practitioner portal.
