Sample Answer
A client came to me two days before BAS lodgement saying their GST payable looked unusually low. I reviewed their Xero cashbook and reconciliations and found $48,500 of sales coded to a GST-free income account by mistake. I ran a detailed report, corrected the coding to standard-rated sales, adjusted the BAS worksheet and re-ran the GST liability which increased by $7,435. I called the client, explained the correction and lodged the amended BAS within the original deadline, avoiding any penalties. The client appreciated the quick fix — we saved an estimated $1,200 in potential interest/penalties and restored accurate monthly cashflow projections that had been off by 8%.
