About this app
Direct e-lodgement is not switched on. Direct ATO e-lodgement via SBR is in final ATO certification, prepare and validate BAS and returns today; we'll tell you the moment lodgement goes live on your account. What runs today is the preparation side. Activity Statements (BAS), Company Tax Returns (CTR), Trust Tax Returns (TTR), Partnership Tax Returns (PTR), Individual Tax Returns (IITR), TPAR and FBT are prepared and validated inside OneBookPlus, with the form data pulled from your invoices, expenses, payroll and GST calculations instead of re-keyed. ABN validation runs against the Australian Business Register, MFA is mandatory, every change is written to an audit log kept for 7 years, and the ATO validation rules run over the form before you file it. You file the finished figures with the ATO the way you do now. Single Touch Payroll is not part of this: OneBookPlus does not lodge STP pay events, so you still report each pay run to the ATO through STP-enabled software. Our Digital Service Provider approval is still in progress and we are not putting a date on it here. For registered tax agents and BAS agents, signing up as a Tax Agency gives you multi-client management, CUREL client registration, agent declarations and a dedicated agent dashboard for preparation work. Bulk lodgement across clients, and submissions carrying your RAN and SSID, arrive when lodgement goes live. Nothing is submitted to the ATO from OneBookPlus before then, and we will tell you the moment that changes.

About OneBookPlus apps
How ATO Tax Lodgement fits into the rest of OneBookPlus
Most OneBookPlus apps are not external integrations wired up between separate products. They are native modules installed inside the same platform you already use for invoicing, bookings, CRM, and accounting. That means ATO Tax Lodgement reads from and writes to the same customer records, financial entries, and calendar events as every other module, with no scheduled sync delays and no risk of data drift between systems.
Because the marketplace runs inside OneBookPlus, billing is consolidated. ATO Tax Lodgement appears as a single line on the same OneBookPlus invoice as your plan, so you don't end up reconciling separate vendor charges across three or four different SaaS subscriptions. Cancellation is one click and never reaches into your data. Uninstalling an app removes the feature from the UI but preserves the underlying customer, invoice, and booking records, so reinstalling later picks up exactly where you left off.
Every app in the marketplace is built specifically for the Australian small and medium business context: GST and ABN handling are first-class concerns, dates render as DD/MM/YYYY, currency defaults to AUD, and the underlying compliance plumbing (BAS summaries, ATO-friendly records, AHPRA / NDIS / Fair Work checkpoints where relevant) is shared across modules.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about ATO Tax Lodgement and the OneBookPlus app marketplace.
Can I lodge directly to the ATO from OneBookPlus?
This app is coming soon. When it launches, OneBookPlus will connect to the ATO via the secure Standard Business Reporting (SBR) gateway so you can lodge Activity Statements (BAS), Company/Trust/Partnership/Individual returns, TPAR and FBT without leaving the app. Single Touch Payroll is not covered: pay events are not lodged from OneBookPlus, so you still report each pay run to the ATO through STP-enabled software.
Where does the form data come from?
It auto-populates from your invoices, expenses, payroll and GST calculations already in OneBookPlus, with ABN validation against the Australian Business Register. You review and verify every field, and the ATO validation rules run over the form, before anything is filed.
Is it secure and compliant?
MFA is mandatory and every change to a return is written to an audit log kept for 7 years. On the connection itself: Direct ATO e-lodgement via SBR is in final ATO certification, prepare and validate BAS and returns today; we'll tell you the moment lodgement goes live on your account. Signing up as a Tax Agency today unlocks multi-client management and CUREL registration for preparation work. Bulk lodgement, and submissions carrying your RAN and SSID, arrive with lodgement, none of it is running now.
Every app in the marketplace
These answers are the same whichever app you install.
- Can I cancel anytime?
- Yes. There are no lock-in contracts on any OneBookPlus app. Uninstall from your dashboard at any time and billing stops at the end of the current period.
- Is my data secure?
- Yes. Encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest (AES-256), with each business's data isolated at the database layer, hosted in Australia in line with the Privacy Act 1988. We never sell or share your business data with third parties, and the full practices are documented on the OneBookPlus security page at onebookplus.com.au/security.
- Is OneBookPlus built for Australian businesses?
- Yes. OneBookPlus is Australian-owned, built in Melbourne, with GST, ABN validation and ATO-ready BAS reporting as the foundation, not an afterthought.
