ATO Online Business Services

The ATO’s online services make managing business reporting and transactions for your business much easier. Easily and quickly accessible, you can utilise these secure services when it’s convenient for you. Even if you have a registered tax or BAS agent assisting you with business tax and superannuation, you can still access the ATO’s online services (in fact, it’s recommended that you do).

At your fingertips

You can use online services for most of your business interactions with the ATO.


· View, prepare, lodge and revise activity statements and taxable payments.


· Create payment plans.


· View statements of account and find your payment reference number (PRN).


· Manage your accounts and update your tax registration details (for example, add or cancel a role).


· View your Single Touch Payroll reports.


· Register for goods and services tax (GST) and pay as you go (PAYG) withholding.


· Access secure ATO mail.


·Access the Small Business Superannuation Clearing House.


· View and print tax returns and income tax history.


If you have multiple businesses, you can seamlessly switch between them with a single login.

Accessing online services

These services can be accessed from your computer or mobile for easy on-the-go management, through your private myGovID. This is different to a myGov account. myGovID is an app which lets you prove who you are when logging in to a range of government online services. You’ll also need a Relationship Authorisation Manager (RAM). RAM is an authorisation service that allows you to act on behalf of a business online once you've linked your business with your myGovID.
