Nominate us to represent you with the ATO
The ATO has recently brought in a new process for businesses to nominate BAS and Tax agents to work on their behalf and needs to be completed for us to access your ATO portal.
Businesses now need to authorise registered agent's access via the Online Services for Business Portal. Below are the steps to do this online or you can call the ATO on 1300 287 539 and complete the process over the phone.
Agent Linking Step
Step 1: Set up your Digital ID (myGovID)
Download the myGovID app, available from the App Store or Google and follow these instructions on how to set up your myGovID.
​
You will need to provide identity documents such as your driver's licence, passport, birth certificate and medicare card to complete setup. Continue to identify yourself until you reach an identity strength of Strong. If you are unable to provide a strong identity check you will need to contact the ATO on 1300 287 539 to complete the rest of the agent linking.
Note: myGovID is unique to you, using your personal information – you cannot share it with others.
Step 2: Link your myGovID to your ABN
You'll need to link your myGovID to your Australian business number (ABN) using Relationship Authorisation Manager (RAM)
Step 3: Log in to Online Services for Business
Use your myGovID to log in to Online services for business
Step 4: Nominate your authorised agent in Online services for business
