Tax agents and trustees of superannuation funds who currently hold an AUSkey can now view and update super fund details via the Australian Business Register (ABR) website at www.abr.gov.au
Previously, you could only update details using the change of details for superannuation entities form (NAT 3036).
Details that can now be updated online include:
- changing a fund's address and contact details
- adding or removing trustees and members
- updating the fund's trading name.
|
You can also update the membership details of your SMSF by contacting us on 13 10 20 between 8am and 6pm, Monday to Friday. Changes will usually be processed within 24 hours.

You can also apply for a GST or PAYG role, as required, through the ABR website.
To use the ABR facility, super funds must have a valid Australian business number (ABN). If a fund does not have an ABN, you can apply for one online via the ABR website.
If you do not have an AUSkey, the ABR website will automatically detect this and provide you with information on how to apply for one. Alternatively, you can register for an AUSkey at www.auskey.abr.gov.au
We encourage tax agents and trustees to use the ABR facility to ensure that correct information is held about the fund and to notify us of any changes. Informing the ATO about certain information is not only required but also ensures the timely provision of services and information to clients.
An AUSkey may also be used to access the Tax Agent Portal (tax agents only) and the Business Portal.
The ABR website does not currently allow for a fund to elect to switch regulators - nor can you use the fund income tax return for this purpose. You must still use the hard copy change of details for superannuation entities form (NAT 3036) to switch regulators.
