Xero has introduced Lodgement Due Date Reminders for your Business Activity Statements/ Business Instalment Activity Statements  —a smart, automated tool that helps ensure you never miss a key deadline. You can now:

  • Select a BAS reminder to come to you 1,7 or 14 days before lodgement;

Why It Matters
