Non-deductible expenses are expenses that the ATO will not allow to be tax deductible. These are expenses that can’t be used to reduce your taxable income in any way. This is because the money put towards these expenses was not in the furtherance of earning work-related income, or is specifically excluded by the ATO. Please keep in mind that whilst these expenses generally aren't deductible there can be situations where they can be claimed, if you believe this applies to you, contact your Tax Agent in regard to your specific circumstances.
Examples of expenses that can’t be claimed:
Expenses incurred that are not relevant to earning assessable income
Private or domestic expenses
Capital expenses or of a capital nature – at the moment you can (instant asset write off) – or need advice from Tax Agent
Expenses specified under income tax law as non-deductible
More specifically, these may include but are not limited to expenses such as:
General household item costs (coffee, tea, milk etc.)
Expenses that you have reimbursed on (where you don’t incur any expense)
Fines and penalties
Client entertainment expenses (meals, parties, concert tickets)
Gifts unrelated to generating earnings
GST attributable to expenses
Personal use of business items
If you have claimed an expense which is not deductible, you may be liable to penalties and interest payable to the ATO.

BAS stands for Business Activity Statement.
The Australian Taxation Office or ATO requires that businesses regularly submit business activity statements to report their tax obligations. These can include GST, pay-as-you-go withholding (PAYGW), pay-as-you-go instalments (PAYGI), fringe benefits tax (FBT), wine equalisation tax (WET) and luxury car tax (LCT).
The short answer is no.

If you choose the assisted option, a registered tax agent will help you minimise losses and maximise returns.
Not at this stage. You need to use your Thriday transaction account, receipt scanning and invoicing features so Auto Accounting has the data to, more accurately, estimate your income and expense position.
GST registration is required for businesses with gross income (excluding GST of 10%) of $75,000 or more. If you are a not-for-profit, the turnover requirement is $150,000.
GST registration is a requirement in some industries like ride-share (taxis, Uber, Ola etc.)
You’re only required to lodge a BAS once your business is registered for GST.
Self-serve BAS will be lodged within 48 hours, and assisted BAS will be lodged within seven days.
NOTE: if you request either service within seven days of the BAS due date, a lodgment extension of 21 days from the due date will be requested/submitted to the ATO by Thriday. An extension can only be requested if lodgment is not more than three days overdue. For example, if the due date is 25th May, an extension needs to be requested/submitted on or before 28th May.
It doesn’t get any easier!
The combination of transactions, bookkeeping and accounting, fully integrated into a single solution, gives Thriday the unique ability to streamline the BAS lodgment process as no other accounting platform can.

You’re required to report and lodge a quarterly BAS with the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) if your GST-related income exceeds or is likely to exceed $75,000.
Your BAS should include your business revenue and any Goods & Services Tax (GST) on your sales and expenses.
If GST-related expenses exceed GST-related sales, you will have a GST refund. Conversely, if sales exceed GST-related expenses, you will have GST-Payable.
Employee wages and PAYG withholding tax are also reported in your BAS. The withholding tax will be added to the GST.
By lodging your BAS through a registered tax agent via Thriday, you can get one additional month to make payments which can be great for cash flow.

It can be beneficial to lodge shortly after the reporting period to get the credits if you’re in a GST-refundable position.
If you’re in a GST-payable position, you can lodge on the due date and delay payment until then.
You can choose one of two options:
