Your new employees can access and complete the following onboarding forms through ATO online services:
- Tax file number declaration
- Superannuation (super) standard choice
- Withholding declaration
- Medicare levy variation declaration.
To access these forms, your new employee will need a myGov account linked to the ATO. Once they have access they will need information from you, including your ABN and details of your default super fund.
These forms will be pre-filled with some of the employee’s personal and tax details making it quicker to complete and improving the accuracy of the information submitted to you. Your new employee will need to print and submit the forms to you so you can input this information directly into your payroll software.
In the future, this service can be integrated into your software and the information won’t need to be entered manually. We anticipate software developers will have this feature available by the end of 2019.
