The ATO have introduced a security measure for you to nominate a registered agent, such as Lincolns, to your business and specify how we can access your information.
If you change your Tax/BAS agent or need to adjust authorisations for your existing agent, you will need to link the agent to your business’s ABN via Online Services for Business.
You can access the ATO’s step-by-step instructions via the link below. As your agents, we are not able to complete this process for you, however, if you require assistance at any time please call us to discuss and we will do our best to guide you through the process.
If you are nominating Lincolns as your Tax/BAS Agents, you will need our Tax Agent Number (TAN) to complete this process: 246 716 30
