If you have undertaken a successor fund transfer (SFT) that results in a new Australian business number (ABN), you may need to consider whether you will still be able to:
- access ATO Online services for business and other government portals
- utilise ATO Standard business reporting (SBR) superannuation services such as Member Account Attribute Service (MAAS) and Member Account Transaction Service (MATS).

The same applies for employees working directly for you.

Individuals will also need to have a current myID at the appropriate identity strength for relevant services. To set up your myID, see:
