Say Goodbye to the ATO Business Portal - ATO turns on the 'Online services for business'

Say goodbye to the ATO Business Portal

The ATO has commenced its Online services for business, replacing the existing Business Portal as the default service for businesses interacting directly with the ATO online.

The new service provides a secure channel for businesses so you can manage your tax and super obligations. It can be accessed across multiple devices, including tablets or phones as well as laptops and desktops.

In addition to the services already available in the Business Portal, Online services for business new features include:

  • viewing and printing an entity's tax returns and income tax history
  • making payment plans
  • switching between businesses with a single log in
  • customising homepages, and
  • accessing new secure mail subjects.

The new service includes a 'switch ABN' function, which allows you to switch between businesses you manage without needing to log out and back into a separate business. You will also be able to organise a payment plan online, rather that through a phone call.

Businesses can start using Online services for business by logging in your myGovID. New users to ATO online services will need to set up a myGovID and link it to your organisation through Relationship Authorisation Manager.

If you have any questions about the Online service contact your Aspen Corporate advisor today.
