"BAS excuded" refers to any goods or services that fall outside of Australia's Goods and Services Tax (GST) legislation. This means you don't have to pay the 10% GST on these items or include them in the GST section of your BAS. The ATO has a full list of BAS Excluded items on their website but some examples include:
- Wages
- Superannuation
- Loan repayments
- Donations to charity
- Dividends
- Prinvate transactions/drawings from the business
- Stamp duty
