I will be overseas during the next lodgment date (28.07.23) and will miss by a few days. I can't contact anyone to request a deferral. Can i pay in advance and lodge afterwards?
Hey @AMarsh300,
Yes, you can make payment into your account but if you haven't lodged the BAS by the due date you may still receive a failure to lodge on time penalty for the late lodgement. You can also have a registered agent lodge on your behalf.
Otherwise, the best time for you to contact us to request a lodgement deferral is 8am local time.
