BASCalc (shop.bascalc.com.au) provides general tools and information to assist Australian sole traders with organising their quarterly BAS figures.
This website and the BASCalc spreadsheet do not constitute financial, tax, or legal advice.

By purchasing, downloading, or using BASCalc, you acknowledge and agree to the statements below.

1. Not Financial or Tax Advice

BASCalc is an organisational and calculation tool only.
It is not personalised accounting, bookkeeping, or tax advice.

You are responsible for:

  • Ensuring your income and expense entries are accurate
  • Checking your data before lodging your BAS
  • Confirming that the results apply to your individual circumstances
  • Complying with all ATO requirements

If you are unsure about any BAS item, GST treatment, PAYG, or ATO rule, you should consult a qualified accountant or tax professional.

2. No Liability for Errors

While every effort has been made to ensure BASCalc is accurate and functional, we do not guarantee:

  • The correctness of results produced by user-entered data
  • That BASCalc is suitable for every business situation
  • That the spreadsheet fits all GST or tax scenarios

We are not responsible for:

  • Lodging incorrect figures to the ATO
  • Missed deadlines
  • Interest or penalties
  • Misunderstood GST categories
  • Incorrect or incomplete data entered by the user

You use BASCalc entirely at your own risk.

3. No Guarantee of Outcomes

Using BASCalc does not guarantee:

  • Acceptance of your BAS by the ATO
  • Compliance with ATO rules
  • Reduction of tax payable
  • Refunds or credits

It is your responsibility to verify that all figures submitted to the ATO are correct based on your own business records.

5. Reliance on User Input

All calculations are based solely on the numbers you enter.

BASCalc cannot detect:
