Australian Taxation Office

The ATO app allows you to manage your tax and super affairs on the go – making tax simple & easy.

For a personalised tax and super experience, you will need:

- a myGov account linked to the ATO

- to register your device by providing and verifying an Australian mobile number and an email address.

With the ATO app, you can:

- follow your 2024-25 tax return from start to finish, including checking prefill information, tracking the progress of your return and its outcome

- view in real-time when lodgments and payments are due, and seamlessly action them via ATO Online

- set up quick login using your device’s security features like face and fingerprint recognition

- view messages in real-time when important changes are made to your ATO record, and lock it to keep it safe

- view your tax accounts, with links to ATO Online to view transactions, create payment plans or pay

- see an overview of your super balance and accounts

- view your employment income and superannuation contributions required from your employers

- check your personal, business (sole traders only) and registered agent’s details

- access our most popular tools.

Our most popular tools include:

- myDeductions: record your work expenses as an employee or sole trader. Sole traders can also record income. At tax time you can easily upload your myDeductions records to your tax return or email a copy to your tax agent.

- Tax withheld calculator: calculate the amount of tax to withhold from salary and wage payments.

- ABN Lookup: search for an Australian business number (ABN).

- Business performance check: compare your business with similar businesses in your industry using the latest Small business benchmarks.

The ATO app can automatically send usage data to help improve the app. The data we collect doesn’t identify you and you can choose to turn this off at any time in your app’s settings.

GPS can be used to record trips in myDeductions. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
