A worked example

The lookup below already shows your next standard quarterly BAS date — and the ASIC review field turns an incorporation date into this year’s review date.

The BAS dates below are the ATO’s published standard quarters and do not depend on any input — they are the same for every self-lodging business.

Q1 · July – September
28 October
Q2 · October – December
28 February
Q3 · January – March
28 April
Q4 · April – June
28 July
Monthly BAS
21st of the following month (mandatory once GST turnover reaches $20 million; optional below)
28 October 2026

Next standard quarterly BAS — Q1 (July – September)

STP finalisation
14 July (Single Touch Payroll finalisation declaration for the financial year just ended)
Next ASIC annual review

From 1 July 2026, super must be RECEIVED by the employee’s fund within 7 business days of each payday (Payday Super). The old quarterly 28-day due dates apply only to periods before 1 July 2026.

An estimate, not a quote. The ATO and ASIC produces the figure that actually applies to you — check there before you rely on a number. A date falling on a weekend or public holiday moves to the next business day — public holidays vary by state, so this tool does not shift dates for you. Verified 2026-08-14.

Why your dates may legitimately differ

Registered agents lodge under the ATO’s lodgment program, which carries its own later dates for most quarters. Those are a concession, not a statutory deadline, and your agent’s program governs — confirm yours with them rather than working to the standard dates above.

Would you rather we handled it?Standard dates are the floor. Books that are current on the due date are what makes them achievable.

What to do with this number: Standard dates are the floor, not your dates: a registered agent’s lodgment program can extend BAS deadlines, and the statement ASIC actually issues governs the review. Confirm yours with your agent.
