Online Services for Business
In an update to tax professionals on the 9 February 2021, the ATO is replacing the Business Portal with the new service ‘Online services for Business’.

- create payment plans
- switch between your businesses with a single log in
- view statements of account and find your payment reference number (PRN)
- manage your accounts and update your tax registration details (for example, add or cancel a role)
- view your Single Touch Payroll reports
- register for goods and services tax (GST) and pay as you go (PAYG) withholding
- access new secure mail subjects and view your communication history
- access the Small Business Superannuation Clearing House
- view and print tax returns and income tax history (if you are a sole trader continue to use ATO Online)
- customise your home page.
