BGL Corporate Solutions, Australia’s leading provider of self-managed superannuation fund (SMSF), investment portfolio and company compliance management software, announce the electronic lodgment of pay-as-you-go (PAYG) payment summaries to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) is now available in its SMSF administration software, Simple Fund 360.
“It’s fantastic to release another highly requested feature. I am extremely proud of the efforts of the BGL team,” said Ron Lesh, BGL’s Managing Director. “This feature will go a long way to make our clients’ lives easier.”
“Generally, the trustee of an SMSF will be required to withhold tax for superannuation benefit payments if the member receiving the payment is under 60 and is taking their benefit in the form of an income stream (pension) or a lump sum,” said Lesh. “There are also circumstances around defined benefit income streams and death benefits.”
“When an SMSF withholds an amount from a payment, it is required to pay that same amount to the ATO using an approved form,” continued Lesh. “Traditionally, this has been done manually, requiring the completion of paper forms to be submitted to the ATO. With this release, BGL clients can electronically submit the PAYG payment summaries to the ATO via Simple Fund 360, making the process paperless and saving SMSF professionals hours.”
“This is just one of many features we plan to release to make SMSF administration paperless,” added Lesh. “Watch this space!”
BGL now has over 250,000 funds administered on Simple Fund 360, representing 41% of the estimated 605,000 SMSFs in Australia, cementing its position as the most widely used SMSF administration software solution.

BGL Corporate Solutions has been recognised as an accredited Mental Health First Aid Skilled Workplace.
BGL is 1 of 165 organisations across Australia recognised as part of the Mental Health First Aid Australia Skilled Workplace Program, which was first introduced in 2018. The program aims to inspire positive change and celebrates organisations driving mental health literacy and competency skills.
“This is a great achievement” said Ron Lesh, BGL’s Managing Director. “Our people work tirelessly to provide award-winning software solutions and customer service for our clients. Supporting our team members’ mental health and wellbeing has never been more important. To have mental health and wellbeing deeply embedded in our culture is something I am so very proud of.”
“BGL has always been focused on the mental health and wellbeing of our team and we have implemented many initiatives to support our team members. One of which was to have all BGL leaders trained in mental health first aid,” added Lesh. “With the help of Joel Clapham, Founder and Chief Mental Health Champ at Hearten Up, BGL had all our leaders trained as Mental Health First Aiders. This equates to 1 trained Mental Health First Aider for every 7 BGL team members.”
“This initiative alone has had an enormous positive impact on our leaders and our team members,” continued Lesh. “It has also positioned us to be recognised as a Great Place to Work.”
“Creating and sustaining a mentally healthy workplace requires constant and consistent effort,” said Lesh. “We will continue to invest in new and better ways to educate our team, raise awareness and reduce the stigma related to mental health. It is just so important.”

BGL Corporate Solutions will now be accepting bitcoin as payment for subscription to its suite of software, CAS 360, Simple Fund 360 and Simple Invest 360.
Managing director of BGL, Ron Lesh, said the firm was pleased to be accepting cryptocurrency.
“We are very excited to offer our clients the option to pay their annual software subscriptions with Bitcoin”, said Mr Lesh.
He said that the company’s ability to accept crypto as payment was developed through BGL’s collaboration with cryptocurrency exchange Cointree.
“From today, BGL clients will be able to pay into our crypto wallet thanks to our partnership with Australia’s own cryptocurrency exchange, Cointree,” said Mr Lesh.
“Clients will simply click a link on our invoices and complete the transfer.
“With cryptocurrency continuing to grow in popularity, our partnership with Cointree provides an easy way for BGL to offer subscription payments in cryptocurrency.”
BGL said the latest development with Cointree came after they had partnered to provide Simple Fund 360 and Simple Invest 360 an easy way to process cryptocurrency transactions, value and keep track of their portfolio, and help with the calculation of CGT events for SMSFs, trusts, companies and individuals.
Chief executive of Cointree, Jess Renden, said the exchange was delighted to partner with an innovative business like BGL.
“We’ve been helping Australians access crypto since launching in 2013 and are proud to partner with a forward-thinking organisation like BGL,” said Ms Renden.
“Consumers have embraced cryptocurrency in recent years and it’s becoming more common for people to use it as a means to pay bills, so when BGL wanted to offer its customers to pay bills our team were ready to help find a solution.”
The partnership between the two companies has also expanded into co-developing Australian-based software to provide a daily price feed for several cryptocurrencies.
Called NBOC, BGL said it was a daily automated data feed that provided both Simple Fund 360 and Simple Invest 360 clients with up-to-date prices for cryptocurrency and was suitable for SMSFs, companies, trusts and individuals.
Founded in 1983, BGL Corporate Solutions has grown to become one of the largest developers of compliance software in the world, with more than 180 employees globally.
BGL provides cloud-based company compliance management, SMSF and portfolio administration software to over 8,000 businesses in 15 countries.
Cointree launched in 2013 and operates as one of Australia’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges, handling over $250 million in transactions.
