How do you provide these essential business services?

You apply to become an affiliate of BATA. This application and related documentation outlines what we expect of you, and what you can expect of us.

Once your application is accepted, you will be provided with access to relevant BATA software, and with the details of the BATA tax agent you will liaise with for approvals and associated support to get you started. You can then begin arranging for your client's tax and other financial requirements to be undertaken.

When you have a client that requires the services provided by BATA, and you wish to source and provide those services, then:

1. Discuss and agree on the appropriate fee for the services required with BATA.
2. BATA will raise an engagement letter in your client's name, outlining the services to be provided, and including an invoice for you to provide to your client.
3. You, the affiliate, can then commence providing the services; complete and lodge the working papers, supporting documentation, and initial completion of the services. BATA staff can provide guidance, and should be advised once services have been completed.
4. BATA will then have an appropriately qualified, experienced, and registered tax agent check that work, provide feedback, and seek further clarification and information as required to enable approval of the services.
5. Once the BATA tax agent has approved the services, you can forward the completed paperwork to your client for signing off on.
6. After signing and payment of the agreed fee, you can proceed to lodge the services with the relevant federal department/s.

Note: It is not the intention of BATA to undertake any direct communication with your client (although we reserve the right to do so), but to have you, the affiliate, manage communication.
These are your clients.
