If you currently use an Auskey to log-in to ATO systems for your business, then you will need to set up a replacement MyGovID for when Auskey stops workings at the end of March.
Don’t get confused with myGov – at the moment that has nothing to do with a myGovID.
See www.mygovid.gov.au for more info, but we’ve included some basic instructions here:
- Download the MyGovID from your mobile phone (smartphone) or tablet store. Free from the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store. Type mygovid all as one word and it should pop up.
- Once installed, open the app and follow the prompts. Enter an email address personal and unique to you when prompted.
- You will need to verify your identity with a licence and medicare card (or there are some other options).
- That’s it!
You can then link up your business in the Relationship Authorisation Manager (https://info.authorisationmanager.gov.au). If you have trouble with this step, or you have a trust with a corporate trustee, then call 1300 287 539 and select option 3 to get assistance linking up.
