Our services

This section applies to services and forms provided on this website:

Online forms

When you complete an online form, all mandatory details must be completed and you will need to confirm that the information provided is true and correct.

By submitting information, you are considered to have agreed to our privacy policy. We will update your records with any information you provide.

Online user account

When you register for an online user account, this will give you access to log in to this site. Access to a taxpayer account is granted once you have proven that you are authorised to access that taxpayer account. Registering for an online user account on this site does not automatically grant you access to any taxpayer accounts.

Once registered for an online user account, you agree that electronic communications can be sent to you directly through this site. You must keep your contact details up to date. We are not responsible if notifications are not delivered to you because you have not told us that your contact details have changed.

Each individual maintains their own user account. However, more than one person may have access to a taxpayer account – for example, a company may have multiple directors who can each see the taxpayer's account through their online account.

As a registered account owner you have the following responsibilities:

  • You must keep your password secure, and not share it with anyone else. If you think someone knows your password, you must change it immediately.
  • You must keep your own device secure, ensuring it is free of viruses, malware and other forms of corruption. We are not responsible for any viruses, malware or any other malicious material that may be on your device.

Authorised representatives

You may authorise a representative to act on your behalf. For example, you might want to allow your tax agent to file returns on your behalf. Your representatives will have the same responsibilities as a registered RMS Online account owner, as outlined in the section above.
