Get the ATO App – photograph your tax receipts – WoW!

The ATO App provides tax and superannuation help on the go! If you are individual taxpayer, small business owner or self-managed superannuation fund trustee, the app allows you to access relevant tax and superannuation information and tools in one place.

The app includes a range of features such as:

• Enrol and use your voiceprint for fast, easy and secure access to ATO online services and use your voice to verify your identity the next time you use the app or phone the ATO;
• Record and manage your car trips, work-related expenses, gifts and donations and the cost of managing your tax affairs on the myDeductions tool;
• Search for lost super;
• Calculate the amount of tax to withhold from salary and wages payments;
• Work out key dates, and depending on your device, set reminders and alerts for tax and superannuation obligations;
• Use the business performance tool to compare your business with similar businesses in your industry;
• Access to online services, including myTax to lodge your income tax return and track its progress.

The myDeductions tool provides individual taxpayers with a range of innovative features including:

• The ability to capture and classify work-related expenses, gifts and donations or the cost of managing your tax affairs;
• store photographs of receipts; and
• record car trips.

(Please note the myDeductions tool is for individuals claiming work-related expenses as an employee. It is not for small business owners, including sole traders).

The tool includes three tracking methods to record your car trips including GPS; Point to Point and Odometer.

You can upload the completed deductions to the ATO who will pre-fill your individual income tax return or you can share your deductions data via email.

It is important to stay up to date with the latest version of the app and to make sure that you record only one person’s deductions per device.

Never miss out on a deduction claim because of a lost or faded receipt again. Enter a few details, snap a photo and you are good to go.

Simply download the ATO app now to start using the myDeductions tool – it’s that quick and easy. You can download the app from the ATO website.
