Tax

Link your SMSF to the ATO business portal.

By June 9, 2022No Comments

The ATO have recently changed their processes whereby they are no longer sending out PAYG notices via paper mail.
This means that you may miss notifications of tax payable for your SMSF.
The solution to be able to view and pay your PAYG tax payable on time is to add your SMSF to the ATO business portal.
This will allow you to receive notifications and also log in any time to view and pay any tax.
Please action the steps below to avoid missing ATO notifications regarding your SMSF.
Apart from contacting the ATO each quarter, this is the only way you will be able to view your PAYG notices and tax payable.
For those who have completed at least one tax return it is very important that you action these steps to check your PAYG status.
For those who have not completed a tax return as yet, please follow the steps below to be ready for the following year.
