I live overseas and registered my ATO account with an Australian phone number. That phone number no longer is active and does not exist meaning I cannot log onto the ATO to submit tax.
Due to time differences, my working hours are the phone operating hours for the ATO therefore I cannot change my phone number by calling them.
What do I do and why is it so hard to obey the law??
MyGov requires that Australian mobile number to log in to your existing account. You can create a new one and use myGovID or the myGov generator app, it would mean you need to link to us again.
Here is a similar post we have answered before about lodging that may help.
