Australia reporting cycles and business-day rules
Australian business-day cycles run against ATO BAS reporting (monthly remitters by the 21st of the following month, quarterly by the 28th of the next month), ASIC corporate filings, and RBA RITS clearing. The Reserve Bank of Australia operates a two-tier real-time gross settlement window. AUSTRAC threshold transaction reporting follows a 10-business-day window under AML/CTF Act 2006. Single Touch Payroll Phase 2 reporting runs on each pay-event basis but year-end finalisation has a July 14 hard deadline. Public-holiday treatment under Fair Work Act 2009 follows the federal set this calculator uses.

Using this calculator in Australia
A Sydney merchant bank uses the 21-day December 2046 count to align RBA RITS settlement with PEXA property-settlement windows and AusPay-linked PayTo cycles. A Perth mining services controller uses the count to track ATO BAS and PAYG instalment cycles that fall in the same month. A Brisbane construction subcontractor uses business-day math to track Security of Payment Act response windows under each state's regime.
