Internet access
Security authentication
D2A uses the ATO’s myGovID machine credentials for authentication. Administrators need to complete three steps to set up and administer their own myGovID and create a machine credential. The links given below are to ATO published materials.
1. Obtain a digital identity
2. Link ABN and authorise others
3. Create a machine credential
D2A administrators (Principal Authority and
Machine Credential Administrator) must set up their digital identity and obtain a myGovID.
Entities need to ensure that their business ABN is linked and administrators are authorised in RAM.
For D2A, a Machine Credential Administrator will need to create a
machine credential (this is not required for Extranet).
The D2A Help Desk cannot assist with validation errors or warnings in D2A returns. For information on validation rules and guidelines, refer to your industry's Reporting requirements page.
