Accessing ATO online services for your business

From the end of March 2020, you’ll no longer be able to use AUSkey and Manage ABN Connections (your myGov login when you have an ABN connected to your account). Set up your new key today! It’s the new, simple, secure and flexible way to access our online services like the Business Portal.

What will I use instead?
You will need:
■myGovID – a new, easy and secure way to prove who you are online.
■Relationship Authorisation Manager (RAM) – allows you to access government online services on behalf of your business.
Together, myGovID and RAM become your new key for our online services and other government online services.

Who needs to use myGovID & RAM?
You’ll need to use myGovID & RAM if you:
■use the ATO Business Portal or Access Manager
■access government online services using AUSkey or Manage ABN Connections like the Australian Business Register (ABR)
■have employees or authorise others to access government online services on behalf of your business
■are a tax professional accessing Online services for agents

What are the benefits of using myGovID & RAM?
It’s simple – use your myGovID to unlock multiple government online services. You no longer need multiple AUSkeys.
It’s flexible – use your myGovID on the go, anywhere and anytime. You no longer have to use the same AUSkey desktop or device.
It’s secure – myGovID uses security features in your device to protect your identity and information.
It’s streamlined – use RAM to manage all of your authorisations in one place.

Can I use AUSkey or Manage ABN Connections with other online services?
No. From the end of March 2020, you won’t be able to use AUSkey or Manage ABN Connections (your myGov login when you have an ABN connected to your account) with any government online services. They’re being replaced due to their limitations and changes in technology.

How is myGovID different to myGov?
Your myGovID lets you prove who you are when using government online services. Your myGov account lets you select and link to government online services as an individual from the one place.
In the future, you will use myGovID to log in to more goverment online services, including myGov.
