I am trying to link my trust to the ATO Portal so that My Accountant can access I dont have an ABN only an ACN and TFN - Everytime I call the ATO they say they cant link a trust without an ABN??
I think you would need an ABN (australian business number) because it is called 'online service for business' and when you go through the RAM linking instruction references 'business' multiple times
Might be you need to ask your tax agent to call ATO and see if it can be manually added as client since you won't be able to do the agent nomination
