Nominating Atramentum as Your
Registered ATO Tax or BAS Agent

If you're a new BUSINESS (i.e. ABN holder) tax or BAS client engaging Atramentum to act on your behalf with the Australian Taxation Office (ATO), you'll need to complete the client-to-agent linking process. This ensures that only authorised agents can access your tax and superannuation information, enhancing the security of your data.

This process is currently mandated only for entities with an Australian Business Number (ABN), such as companies, trusts, partnerships, and not-for-profits.

Do Sole Traders Need to Nominate an Agent?

No. At this stage, sole traders are exempt from the client-to-agent linking process. If you're a sole trader, Atramentum can add you as a client without requiring a nomination through the ATO's online services. However, we will still need to verify your identity in accordance with ATO guidelines

Steps to Nominate Atramentum:

  1. Set Up Your Digital Identity:

  2. Link Your Digital Identity to Your ABN:

    • Use the Relationship Authorisation Manager (RAM) to link your myGovID to your Australian Business Number (ABN).

    • Visit the RAM website and follow the prompts to link your business.

  3. Nominate Atramentum in Online Services for Business:

    • Log in to the ATO's Online Services for Business using your myGovID.

    • Navigate to Profile > Agent Details.

    • Select Add under the Agent Nominations section.

    • Enter Atramentum's Registered Agent Number:

      BAS Services ONLY : 261 36 223

      Tax Services (Easy Tax Solutions): 704 73 005

    • Confirm the details and submit the nomination.

Please note that Atramentum will not receive an automatic notification of your nomination. Once you've completed the process, kindly inform us so we can proceed with linking your business to our client list.

For detailed guidance, refer to the ATO's instructions on How to nominate your registered agent.
