Setting up your myGov account
If your employer reports through STP, you can see your year-to-date tax and super information and annual income statement in ATO online services.
The income statement is a new name for your payment summary (which some people call a group certificate).
It is easy to set up a myGov account. Go to myGov, select Create an account at the bottom of the screen and follow the instructions.
You will need an email address to create your account. You can then use your email address or mobile phone number to sign in.
Once your myGov account is set up, you can link it to ATO online services.

It is not compulsory to have a myGov account.
If you use a registered agent to lodge your tax return, they will have access to your income statement.
If you lodge your own tax return and you don't want to create a myGov account, you will need to phone us on 13 28 61 to get a copy of your income statement.
For the 2018–19 financial year, employers have until 31 July 2019 to finalise your STP information so we recommend waiting until after 1 August 2019 to contact us.
