I clarified a confusion I had about BAS Agent registration at the last ATO BAG meeting I attended in May.
If you are an individual you need to apply for individual BAS Agent registration.
If you are a business, undertaking BAS preparation work, your business needs to apply for BAS Agent registration.
So as my business offers BAS preparation services and as I undertake BAS preparation services I need to [and have] effectively registered twice.
During the initial stages I think there are understandably teething problems, and the application form, does not clearly distinguish between individual and business application.
I am by no means the authorities word on this matter, I however think my set-up may be similar to others and I was told in no uncertain terms, I need to register twice. Further information can be found at http://www.tpb.gov.au
