BAS DUE DATES

[Jessiec]

Hi,

We import our BAS's through AE from the portal, But we would like to know how to update the due dates on the BAS's to include the 4 week extension that we as a tax agent have, so the bas's reflect the correct date for payment and lodgement.

Hi @Jessiec,

Thank you for your post.

Something for your practice to consider is to use the RPTAB report to create BAS returns and then import the data.

The RPTAB report is sent by the ATO and the import process into AE will import the data including the Due Date. Note the Due Date imported is the date as per the ATO report.

If you are interested in looking into this process, we have the details explained in KB 29199: How do I import details into activity statements?

I hope you find the information helpful.

That's how we import them all, but it still comes through with the 28th April 2015, instead of the 4 week extension we get as a tax agent to the 26th May, 2015.

Wanting to know if there is anyway we can update them other than manually.

Hi @Jessiec,

Unfortunately, we can only import the dates as supplied by the ATO via the ATO Client Report.

Other than this, we cannot update the due dates in bulk.
