Description
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.
To record a trip in myDeductions using the GPS option, the app needs access to your device location.

Ratings and Reviews
Love the app
Love the app makes life easy when trying to keep my business organised especially being able to upload receipts that I’ll possibly loose.
However I pay myself a wage from the business is there anyway to categorise a wage. It won’t let me pop it in expense without making it claimable and obviously I don’t want to claim anything from paying myself .
Thank you in advance
Developer Response ,
Hi, thank you for your feedback. In order to record business income, please go to settings, personalisation and enable 'sole trader records'. Thanks, Kim.
Frustrating
The ATO along with MyGov and MyGov ID make up an unholy trinity of poorly configured apps, the developers obviously are not reading the feedback. If you are an Australian citizen who has always lived at the same address and has kept one phone number it possibly works ok. If you don’t have an au passport, move house, change jobs / phone numbers be prepared for hours of fruitless pain. Whilst recovering from Covid I thought I would have another go at setting up my account. I came to an 2 secrets that you share with the ATO page, my super provider could have been one, and the other my bank account, although I have changed banks but I was hopeful of getting progress. Don’t worry ATO app designers have addressed that problem, when you get to this page on a mobile device the keyboard is oriented landscape not portrait, and if you turn your device to landscape the text boxes move out of the way so don’t bother trying to enter data in the same place.
Poor quality products like these are why so many are not claiming there rebates, they are more likely to be immigrants who have had to change addresses and jobs more often.
I will be forced to do my return on paper this year because of this app and the other myGov offerings that support it.
Forcing you to update OS to use the app, even if you can’t.
So I guess unlike major retailers and other app developers that still are able to allow older OS users to have an update or use the last usable version of the app with that OS, you are leaving people like us who can’t or don’t want to go through wasting more money on upgrading our working phones just because it is a fashionable thing, my elderly working parents now also unable to access their app or upgrade their phone due to the small storage apace it came with.
So at this point, will have to stop using phones with apps, back to old school computers and phones, webpages, and emails.
Was nice while it lasted seeing how our tax money is spent more on developing other countries and not paying attention to our people and their needs.
