LodgeIT™Pty Ltd, ABN: 98146732569
Your software subscription ID (retrieved in the previous step – Refer to 11.8.1 Year End Processing: Online Tax Return Lodgment – Sign up with LodgeIT
You can provide this information either by calling the ATO on 1300 852 232.
If you already have Auskey installed on your computer Auskey, go to ATO Access Manager where you can to nominate LodgeIT™as your software provider.
Login to the ATO Access Manager at https://am.ato.gov.au/ using your superannuation fund’s login credentials.
For convenience, you can now link your Superfund to your MyGov so that you can now log in through your MyGov account. If you log in via the Business Portal, you can choose the Access Manager from the menu.
Once logged in to the Access Manager, you should see this menu:
Click My Hosted SBR services. The screen displays:
Click Notify the ATO of your hosted service. You will be presented with a list and a search field. Enter ‘LODGE IT’ in the search field and click Search.

The ATO needs a software ID.
Enter the Software ID you retrieved from LodgeIT™earlier. You should receive a message confirming that your changes have been saved successfully.
