Business Portal – Changes to the way you login
If you currently use the ATO’s business portal to access online services, you are likely using an AUSkey to login. However, at the end of March 2020, the ATO is retiring the AUSkey and has introduced a myGovID as a replacement.
What do you need to do?
Visit https://www.ato.gov.au/General/Online-services/Accessing-online-services-with-myGovID-and-RAM/ to see how a myGovID works, how you are able to obtain one and for further information.
The ATO says that ‘using the security features in your smart device, such as fingerprint, face or password, myGovID helps to protect your identity and stop fraud’.
If you are not currently using online services, you should be! Some of the activities you can access are:
- Lodge activity statements and to make corrections if required
- Access your integrated client account balance and transaction history
- Access ATO correspondences
- Change contact details such as address, email and contact numbers
- Make changes to tax registrations
- Access reports for Single Touch Payroll and
- Access the Small Business Superannuation Clearing House
Contact CrossCorp if you would like to discuss how online services can benefit your business.
