Small producers are able to apply to align the payment of their excise with their BAS. Over the weekend of 25 – 27 August, excise data would be moved from legacy systems into the same accounting system used by the ATO for other taxes. This will enable clients to lodge and amend excise returns and make excise claims online for the first time. The ATO will advise clients when they will be able to commence accessing the new online system.

Current processes used in relation to licence authorisations and permissions would not be changing. Systems updates would have no effect on the way that taxpayers lodge customs remission claims. 

The full presentation can be found in the members portal under the resources page, business services, accounting & finance.
