It's great to hear you've started getting up to date. When you lodge an activity statement, even if it shows an amount on your account, can still take up to 12 business days to process. This is the service standard for activity statements. When you lodge multiple documents at once, it generally will take longer to process them as we process each one by one. The effective date of any debt or credit will always be the original due date. Even if you lodge a decade late, the effective due date will still be the original due date. Generally having outstanding other lodgments will hold up the processing of other lodgments. You should get those up to date when you can, too. There's no need to worry. If your documents haven't processed after the service standard, you can contact us to follow up. Until then, sit tight while we process your forms. :)
