Tax agents' personal return lodgment

How a tax agent can get lodgment program due dates for your own personal returns.

Last updated 30 June 2023

How you as a tax agent can get lodgment program due dates for your own personal returns.

You must use a registered agent number and lodge your tax return electronically to ensure that you receive a lodgment program due date for your own personal tax return. You can view your information in Online services for agents.

If you decide to lodge using your own registered agent number, you must add yourself as a client using Online services for agents or the practitioner lodgment service (PLS).

To help maintain your privacy, you can restrict who within your practice can access your details in Online services for agents by using Access Manager. This is a stand-alone system used to manage access and permissions for our online services.

To access Online services for agents, Access Manager, the Australian Business Register and other government online services, you'll need to use myGovID and the Relationship Authorisation Manager.

If you lodge without a registered agent number, or by paper, you will not be eligible for any lodgment program due dates available to you as a registered agent.
