BAS Agent Registration

Draft legislation has become available for people wishing to become registered BAS agents. 

The legislation proposes that to be registered the applicant must have as a minimum accounting qualification -

Certificate IV Financial Services (Bookkeeping) or

Certificate IV Financial Services (Accounting)

In addition the individual must have undertaken at least 1,400 hours of relevant experience in the last 3 years.

As you can see the provision of BAS services for a fee, is becoming stricter to protect the end user.
