GST, BAS & PAYG at EOFY: Avoid the Most Common Mistakes

The final quarter BAS is the one that bites hardest if you've let errors build up all year. By the time the June BAS is due, small mistakes from earlier quarters have a habit of compounding into something the ATO notices. In this session, Timothy Quinn, Head of Tax & Accounting at Lawpath, walks through BAS reconciliation, GST adjustments, and PAYG withholding annual reports specifically in the context of EOFY, covering the errors that come up most often, how to fix them before you lodge, and what to do if prior quarters weren't quite right. 

19th June, 2026, 12:00 PM AEST

In this session, Timothy will cover: 

  • Final quarter BAS reconciliation: how to close out Q4 accurately and make sure your GST figures match your accounts before lodgement.
  • GST adjustments at EOFY: when adjustments are required, how to apply them correctly, and the ones the ATO flags most often. • PAYG withholding annual report: what it is, when it's due, and how to make sure your figures reconcile with what you've reported throughout the year.
  • Common mistakes and how to avoid them: the errors that generate ATO attention, from incorrect GST coding to missed PAYG obligations.
  • Fixing prior quarter errors: the right way to correct mistakes from earlier in the year without triggering penalties.

Get Q4 right before you lodge

Fix errors the right way 

If earlier quarters weren't lodged correctly, there's a right way to fix them. Timothy covers how to amend without making things worse.

Understand the annual PAYG report
