BAS due date reminders that land before lodgement day
Our free plan includes the national due-date calendar with a calendar feed. Add the Compliance Calendar and we send you a BAS due date reminder, plus reminders for payday super and other dates.
The calendar feed is on the free plan. Compliance Calendar is a paid add-on.
Lodgement dates don't wait for a quiet week.
Most owners know a BAS is coming. The hard part is remembering exactly when, in the middle of quoting jobs, paying staff and chasing invoices.
Bookkeepers have the opposite problem. They look after many clients, each with its own lodgement cycle, and a date kept in one person's head or one spreadsheet tab is a date that can slip.
Payday super adds another rhythm for anyone with employees. Late lodgement can bring ATO penalties and interest, and a call to your agent that nobody enjoys making.

Three kinds of due date, and how we remind you about each
Pick the obligation you're tracking. Each tab covers what it is, who it applies to and how the reminder works.
BAS
The business activity statement is the form a GST-registered business uses to report GST and, where they apply, amounts like PAYG withholding and PAYG instalments. Depending on your setup you lodge monthly, quarterly or annually. With the Compliance Calendar, we send a BAS due date reminder ahead of each lodgement, and the date also sits in your calendar feed. Check the date for your cycle on our due-dates page or with the ATO.
Payday super
Payday super is the change that means employers pay super guarantee contributions at the same time as wages, not once a quarter. It applies to any business that pays employees and owes them super. The Compliance Calendar adds payday super to your reminders so the change doesn't catch your pay process out. Our payday super guide explains it, and the ATO confirms when and how it applies to you.
Other compliance dates
Beyond BAS and super, a business can have other lodgement and payment dates through the year. Which ones apply depends on how it is set up. The Compliance Calendar sends reminders for these too, so the once-a-year dates get the same nudge as the regular ones. Our due-dates page lists every date the calendar carries.

Questions about BAS due date reminders
Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the BAS due date reminder free?
- The national due-date calendar and its calendar feed are free on every account. Reminders for BAS, payday super and other dates come with the Compliance Calendar add-on. Add-ons start from a few dollars a month, and current prices are on our pricing page.
- Does Alert My Business lodge my BAS?
- No. We remind you that a due date is coming. You still lodge through ATO online services, your accounting software, or your registered tax or BAS agent.
- Why don't you list the due dates on this page?
- Dates change, and some depend on your lodgement cycle or whether you use a tax or BAS agent. Our due-dates page carries the current calendar, and the ATO website at ato.gov.au is the official source.
- Can a bookkeeper use this for several clients?
- Yes. Our page for accountants and bookkeepers explains how to watch client businesses, including their due dates, from your own account.
- Does a reminder replace my accountant's advice?
- No. A reminder tells you a date is coming and what to do next. Your tax agent or the ATO can tell you which obligations apply to your business and how to meet them.
