Register for e-filing with the ATO

If you choose to use ONESOURCE E-Filing Manager to lodge with the Australian Tax Office, you must nominate ONESOURCE E-Filing Manager as the software provider. As part of this process you will present a unique software ID.

Locating Your Software Subscription ID

To begin, you will need your software subscription ID. The software subscription ID is a unique identifier that is used to identify each unique subscription or instance of the software with the ATO. A user with client administrator rights can identify the software subscription ID under the Administration menu in ONESOURCE E-Filing Manager.
note
ONESOURCE users are required to nominate one software ID per software instance. In other words, if you use multiple ONESOURCE tax products, you must complete the nomination procedure separately for each product.
  1. Open ONESOURCE E-Filing Manager from the menu in the top left corner.
  2. On the navigation bar, select
