All SBR interaction depends on selecting LodgeiT as your preferred SBR Partner via ATO Access Manager.
Why do we need to connect?
Nominating LodgeiT as your software provider is a requirement that allows you to validate the tax return. As part of the integration agreement, it is a requirement that LodgeiT passes all SBR validations before exporting the annual return. This also provides the benefit of allowing validation issues when validating and completing a form.
