How to set up your access to ATO Online Services for Business

To begin using online services for your business, you first need to connect your business to your profile using myGovID.

To be able to do this, you will need:

myGovID – an app you download to your smart device that lets you prove who you are online
Relationship Authorisation Manager (RAM) – an authorisation service that allows you to act on behalf of a business online, once you've linked your business with your myGovID.

The following ATO guide can guide you on how to do this:

To link your business, this is the process here:

** The actual information needed starts at around the 55 second mark in the video.

After this has been set up, when you then subsequently log in you will be asked to pick which profile you want to use for that session. That is how you can have yourself and your company using the same MyGovID.
