GST/BAS Non-Compliance Fines in Trade-In Valuations
Definition
Trade-in valuations involve mixed supplies (taxable used equipment sales vs input credits), prone to manual miscalculations triggering ATO audits and penalties.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: AUD 1,100+ per late BAS lodgement; up to AUD 20,000 per audit failure; 10-20 hours/month manual reconciliation
- Frequency: Quarterly BAS cycles; high during equipment remarketing peaks
- Root Cause: Manual trade-in appraisals lack GST traceability; no automated input tax credit tracking
Why This Matters
The Pitch: Wholesale Machinery players in Australia 🇦🇺 waste AUD 20,000+ annually on GST penalties and rework. Automation of trade-in valuations eliminates BAS errors.
