you may have received an email like the one below from the tax office
The Tax Office is pushing on with its move towards eliminating communications via the Post. If you lodge any activity statement or related document electronically, whether via us as your tax agent or using the Business Portal then the Tax Office will work on the basis that all future communications related to BASs, IASs, PAYG instalment notices, etc. will be via electronic means. The same result will occur if you link your myGov account to the Tax Office.
If you expect to receive a quarterly BAS/IAS/PAYGI notice and you haven't by two weeks before it is due for lodgement/payment please contact us to confirm your contact details with the Tax Office or to organise the restoration of supply of hard copy statements via the Post.
