ATO Communication Changes

Mail sent from the ATO can take days or even weeks to reach you through traditional postage methods.

ATO mail often contains sensitive information including your TFN, taxable income, home address and other personal details. Identity theft is on the rise and documents sent by email or traditional post increase the risk of your information falling into the wrong hands.

With our new system we can receive and deliver your ATO mail to you without using any ink, envelopes, stamps, fuel or even a single sheet of paper. Across our thousands of clients this is a win for the environment.

The ATO now uses six different methods to deliver mail to taxpayers. One of these is delivery through myGov which poses problems for many clients that might not realise the document has been delivered and may miss an important lodgement or payment deadline.

We encourage you to give our digital system a go for the reasons above, but we still understand that some people are not ready or able to use digital systems. Just let us know if you prefer paper.

Our system will only send mail digitally if we have a valid email and mobile number for you. Check your junk mail for the email, otherwise contact our office to confirm your details.

Our system will only send mail digitally if we have a valid email and mobile number for you. This could mean that the SMS has gone to an old or incorrect mobile number, but the code in the link is of no use without access to the email. Please contact our office to confirm your details.

The system produces a no-reply email that is unattended. If you have a question please either email us at reception@smartbusinesssolutions.com.au or call our office on

If you are receiving ATO mail through traditional postage methods it means we either do not have current valid email and mobile details for you, or you have previously asked us to stay with paper. Please contact us to update your details or preferences.
