An updated ato.gov.au experience

Why we've updated the website

Our previous website platform had been in place for nearly a decade and was coming to the end of its service life.

This gave us an opportunity to deliver an improved website - making it easier for you to self‑serve and access information.

We asked key users for their input and feedback on the previous website. This information along with research, concept testing, and user consultation has informed the development of the updated ato.gov.au website.

What has been updated

The updated ato.gov.au has been built around your needs. Key enhancements include:

• Streamlined navigation – clear, intuitive navigation makes it easy for you to find what you need. Menu structures have been updated to present information in a clear and logical way - this gives you confidence you're accessing the right information.
• Smarter search – the search functionality on ato.gov.au has been enhanced, allowing you to efficiently find the information you need.
• Modern design – we’ve simplified the ato.gov.au home page, making it easier for you to navigate to relevant content depending on your circumstances.

What hasn't changed

You will continue to access the website the same way as before. You can still:

• access the same website address (www.ato.gov.au)
• use any bookmarks you have saved
• refer to the same quick codes (QC)
• view the same trusted tax and super content
• use the suite of tools and calculators.

Avoid scams and fraudulent websites

With the release of the updated ato.gov.au website, its important to be aware of fraudulent websites and phishing scams.

Always access the website directly from the ato.gov.au website address and avoid clicking on suspicious links or emails.

The ATO takes security seriously and has measures in place to protect you from scams and frauds. If you suspect any suspicious activity, report it immediately to the ATO.
