What does a registered BAS agent do?

In Australia, anyone who provides BAS services for a fee (preparing or lodging activity statements, managing GST, PAYG or superannuation obligations) must be registered as a BAS agent with the Tax Practitioners Board. Many bookkeepers hold BAS agent registration so they can lodge on your behalf. Registration means they meet qualification, experience and professional-conduct requirements, and carry professional indemnity insurance.

Where this data comes from

Every listing in this directory is sourced directly from the Tax Practitioners Board public register, the Australian Government register of registered tax agents and BAS agents. We publish it under the register's CC BY 4.0 licence. We do not add, edit or sell practitioner details.

We list practices only. This directory covers the 19,219 accounting and bookkeeping practices on the register: firms, partnerships and companies. Sole practitioners who hold their registration personally are not listed. If you are looking for an individual tax agent or BAS agent, search the TPB register directly, which lists every registered practitioner in Australia.

The listings are a snapshot current as at 1 July 2026. Registrations change daily, and the Tax Practitioners Board register is the authoritative source. Confirm any practitioner's registration on the TPB register before engaging them.
