2Fin prepares your activity statements from the transactions you already have — a BAS in Australia, a GST return in New Zealand, a VAT return in the UK, a GST/HST return in Canada, and more. You check each one, then you or your registered agent lodge it with the tax office.
Activity statements are on ELITE+ and AUTO+, in the web and desktop apps. Nothing is sent to a tax office from 2Fin.

​
Catch up on overdue periods

1

Open Tax Filing

Go to 4. Reports & Automation → Activity Statement. If you have not told 2Fin yet, it asks whether your business is registered for GST or VAT.
2

Enter your registration date

Fin lists every period since that date with its due date and status: Not started, Draft, Ready to lodge or Lodged.
3

Fill all periods

Press Fill all periods to save a draft for every period you owe. Progress shows as it goes. Each draft still waits for your review.
4

Review, lodge, mark as lodged

Open each draft, check it, lodge it with your tax office, then press Mark as lodged.
After a bank import, the Done step offers Prepare my BAS, which opens the same list.
The purchases review: one answer per payee across every period

The purchases review: one answer per payee across every period. Example figures from test books.

​
The purchases review

Purchases are grouped by payee across every period, so one answer covers that supplier everywhere. Fin shows a guess for each payee with how sure it is and why. A guess is never applied on its own: you tap Use guess, or Accept the confident guesses for those at least 80% sure. Every answer can be undone.

​
Open any figure

Click any figure on a statement — or a main line of the year-end return — to see the transactions inside it. Change a row there, then copy or export the list for your agent.

​
Country notes

GST on sales (G1, 1A) and purchases (G10, G11, 1B), with capital purchases, the car limit and the tax-invoice rule applied. Salary and wages never reach G1 for a person with mixed income.
Monthly, two-monthly or six-monthly, as Inland Revenue sets your filing period.
Prepared for your VAT stagger’s quarters. 2Fin is not connected to Making Tax Digital: submit through your own MTD software or agent.
Set your province. HST applies in Ontario, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island.
The prepared statement is Form 941, the employer’s quarterly payroll return. State sales tax stays with your sales-tax tool or accountant.
GSTR-3B table 3.1(a), from sales only, filled as intra-state.

More than one business

Add a second business under the same sign-in. Each transaction belongs to one business — assign by payee or row by row — and each business gets its own statements, profit and loss and exports.
