AUSkey has been the primary identification method for businesses dealing with ATO online services for many years.
The AUSkey system will be retired in 2020 and is being replaced by two products:
- myGovID – is a secure proof of identity app which is stored on your phone and can be used to access many online government services for both business and personal matters.
- Relationship Authorisation Manager (RAM) allows you to link a myGovID and Australian Business Number (ABN). It lets you manage who can act on behalf of your organisation online.
The AUSkey system can still be used during the transition period to myGovID and RAM.
