Tax agent nomination
Nominate your tax agent with the right details ready.
Australian businesses may need to nominate a tax agent through ATO Online services for business before the agent can access the client record or act on the business account.
A clear starting point
A short digital step that protects access to your tax records.
The nomination is completed by an authorised person for the business. Oceania ANZ can explain the information you need, but the nomination itself must be made through the business owner or authorised representative using the ATO service.

Frequently asked questions
Questions people ask before getting started.
Can Oceania ANZ complete the nomination for me?
The nomination is designed to be completed by the business or an authorised person. We can guide you through the information required and check access after submission.
Does every client need to nominate an agent?
The requirement depends on the entity and ATO access arrangements. We will tell you whether a nomination is needed for the work being arranged.
What if I cannot access Online services for business?
Access issues should be resolved before relying on the nomination. This may involve checking Relationship Authorisation Manager permissions and the authorised person connected to the entity.
Should I use an agent number found on the website?
Use only the exact details provided to you by Oceania ANZ for your engagement. This avoids nominating the wrong registration or practice record.
