Compliance Contacts Update service
Don’t get stuck in the paperwork – let Benkorp help you!
When people change their roles and responsibilities within a Church or an Not-for-Profit organisation, it can sometimes slip through the cracks to update government records.
But don’t delay- only have 28 days to update the authorised contact details with government departments such as the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) and Australian Business Register (ABR).
Benkorp can help you stay compliant by updating your compliance contact details with ATO and ABR.
We have encountered many organisations which have not maintained these records, only to discover that the current office holders are not authorised to enquire or make changes with the government agencies. It can take a lot of time, and possibly expense, to bring the compliance details up to date. Alternatively, you could contact the Benkorp Team for assistance.
Why update your ATO/ABN details
Updating your ABN details is required to ensure:
- the proper people have the correct permissions to act on behalf of the organisation; This includes contact by the organisation to the agency as well as the agency contacting the organisation
- government agencies have up-to-date information – which they, or other agencies, can use to contact organisations or provide targeted assistance in times of emergencies; and
- you’re ready for new government requirements or services when they come online.
Not updating your contact details means that you won’t be able to:
- Discuss any issues relating to your church or NFP with the ATO or ABR;
- Set up the connection between the ATO and your Xero software so you can lodge Single Touch Payroll (STP) and Business Activity Statements (BAS) with the ATO;
- Amend BASs previously lodged;Â
- Set up online access for your church or organisation
It can be very difficult and time-consuming to update your authorised contact details without current online access to the ATO or ABR, and you cannot set up online access without being a current authorised contact. This is a catch-22 situation.
