Frequently Asked Questions
Does a bookkeeper need to be registered?
If you provide BAS services for a fee, you must be a registered BAS agent with the Tax Practitioners Board. This requires completing a Certificate IV in Bookkeeping or Accounting and meeting experience requirements.
How should a bookkeeper structure pricing?
Common models are hourly billing, fixed monthly retainers, or per-transaction pricing. Monthly retainers work well for ongoing clients because they provide predictable revenue and the client knows their costs upfront.
What professional indemnity cover does a bookkeeper need?
The Tax Practitioners Board requires registered BAS agents to hold professional indemnity insurance. The minimum cover depends on your revenue, but most insurers recommend at least $1 million.
Do I need an ABN on my invoice?
Yes. If you have an ABN, it must appear on every tax invoice. Without an ABN, the payer may withhold 47% of the payment.
When is a tax invoice required?
A GST-registered business must issue a tax invoice for any sale over $82.50 (including GST) when the buyer requests one.
