Your BAS figures, ready to copy.
GST on your documents, Simpler BAS labels on your tax summary, and real double-entry books underneath — worded for business owners, trusted by accountants.
One of 9 profiled countries — Papertools keeps books anywhere. See them all.
The tax summary speaks BAS.
As you invoice and record bills, Papertools keeps real double-entry books — and the tax summary dresses those figures in your return’s own labels. When the filing window opens, the numbers are computed, checked, and ready to copy into the form.
Quarterly returns are due the 28th of the month after the quarter ends (the summer quarter gets to 28 Feb).
These are the three Simpler BAS labels (turnover under $10M). Figures are invoice-dated — if you elected cash-basis reporting, your numbers differ.
BAS figures
Sample| G1 | Total sales (incl. GST) | A$ 48,950 |
| 1A | GST on sales | A$ 4,450 |
| 1B | GST on purchases | A$ 1,890 |
The rest of the paperwork, in local words too.
Documents that say GST
Invoices render as "Tax Invoice" and totals speak of GST — the words your customers and your accountant expect, straight out of the box.
Statutory IDs where they belong
Staff and vendor records carry the ID fields your country's paperwork actually asks about — typed once, shown where they matter.
Your calendar, your money
Currency, timezone, fiscal year and date style are per-workspace settings — the books run on your clock, not a foreign one. Sell abroad and the invoice can be in the customer's currency, with the exchange difference booked underneath (paid plans).
Paper-Ai knows the words
Ask the built-in assistant about your BAS and it answers with your workspace's own figures and filing window — not a generic paragraph.
Your accountant, served
Trial balance, general ledger and a one-click export bundle — the formal-vocabulary surfaces, ready to hand over at tax time.
Everything else, everywhere
Quotes, recurring invoices, payroll, inventory, bank matching and the full report set — the whole feature map works the same in every country.
Papertools computes these figures from your books and shows them in your return’s labels — it does not lodge returns or give filing advice. Whether a figure belongs on your return is a question for a local accountant, and we’d say so even if you didn’t ask.
Your BAS figures, computed while you work.
Start free and pick Australia when you create your workspace — the tax summary speaks BAS from the first invoice, and the books underneath are real double-entry from day one.
