Important — You Need to Complete This Step Yourself
The ATO requires you to personally authorise your agent — this is a security measure designed to protect your tax information. We can’t initiate or complete the nomination on your behalf, but we’re here to guide you every step of the way. Just get in touch if you’d like support.
💡 Before You Begin
You’ll need your Tax File Number (TFN) to nominate us for the Income Tax role. Have it ready before you start — and if you’re not sure where to find it, we’re happy to help.
Step-by-Step: How to Authorise Your Agent
1
Set Up Your myGovID Skip if you already have one
- Download the myGovID app from the App Store or Google Play.
- Follow the prompts to set up your account using your personal details.
- Choose either a Strong or Standard identity strength. A Strong identity allows you to complete more steps online.
Already have a myGovID? Go straight to Step 2.
2
Link Your myGovID to Your ABN in the Relationship Authorisation Manager (RAM)
- Log in to ram.gov.au using your myGovID.
- Select Link my business and follow the prompts.
- If your ABN is already linked in RAM, go straight to Step 3.
Note: If you have a Standard myGovID or are a primary person not listed in the Australian Business Register, you may need to contact the ATO to complete this step — call 13 28 66.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need to do this myself? Can’t LMS Advisory do it for me?
The ATO introduced client-to-agent linking in 2023 to protect taxpayers from fraud. It requires you to personally authorise your agent — we cannot initiate or complete the nomination on your behalf. This is a security measure, not an inconvenience, and we’re here to support you through every step.
I have multiple entities (company, trust, SMSF). Do I need to do this for each one?
Yes. The nomination is per entity, so you’ll need to nominate us separately for each ABN you’d like us to manage. If an entity doesn’t appear in your list during the online process, call the ATO on 13 28 66 — they can assist.
What happens if I make a mistake during the nomination?
Don’t worry — contact our office and we’ll help you sort it out. The ATO’s Online Services for Business line (13 28 66) can also assist if you encounter any errors during the process.
How long does the nomination take to become active?
Nominations are typically processed immediately. However, please notify our office once you’ve submitted — we’ll confirm on our end that the nomination is visible in our systems.
Is it safe to enter my TFN or ABN during this process?
Yes. You’re entering your details directly into the ATO’s own secure online portal (ato.gov.au) or speaking with an ATO operator. LMS Advisory will never ask you to provide your TFN or ABN via email or phone — if someone claiming to be us asks for this, please contact our office immediately.
