Home / Activity Statement API
Coming soon
Bring Activity Statement discovery, validation and lodgment into your accounting product without directly implementing the underlying ATO SBR2 transport stack.
The Intaxio Activity Statement API is being designed for accounting platforms that want to deliver Australian Activity Statement workflows inside their own product while using Intaxio for the supported regulatory and ATO integration layer.
Activity Statement functionality involves more than sending a completed form to the ATO.
Identify supported Activity Statement obligations available through relevant ATO services.
Perform supported local validation and applicable ATO pre-lodgment validation.
Submit supported Activity Statements through the Intaxio ATO gateway.
Retrieve supported status, result and receipt information following submission.
Intaxio
Supported API, validation, transformation, gateway, lodgment, response and receipt handling.
Your software
Your application maintains the accounting information and business context required to populate the Activity Statement.
Your customer
Your application controls review, validation resolution, declarations and final lodgment workflow.
Target market
The Activity Statement API is infrastructure for software providers. It is not intended to replace accounting software or operate as a standalone BAS preparation product.
The target use case is an accounting platform that already maintains the accounting data required for Activity Statement preparation but does not want to build and operate its own connection to the applicable ATO services.
Your platform owns the customer relationship and accounting experience. Intaxio maintains the supported integration layer.
Activity Statement 2025
The initial service is designed around the ATO's Activity Statement 2025 service.
Activity Statement discovery plus test and production API access.
Payload preparation, local validation, pre-lodgment validation and lodgment.
ATO gateway handling, receipt capture, status and result retrieval.
Exact production scope, availability and customer onboarding requirements will be confirmed as the product progresses toward general availability.
A good Activity Statement workflow should identify problems before the customer believes a lodgment has been completed.
Prepare
Assemble Activity Statement values in your accounting product.
Validate locally
Identify supported format and data issues before sending to the ATO.
Pre-lodge
Obtain supported ATO validation outcomes before final submission.
Lodge
Proceed with final lodgment once the workflow is ready.
Data handling
Activity Statement data can contain commercially sensitive tax and business information. The product is designed to operate using Australian-hosted SaaS infrastructure and defined data-handling practices.
The API does not replace the accounting logic or professional responsibilities inside the customer product.
Integrate your application and map accounting data to the supported API contract.
Ensure users have authority to access or lodge and manage required confirmations and consent.
Ensure submitted values are correct and present validation and lodgment outcomes inside your product.
Product evaluation can cover more than the endpoint itself, allowing product and engineering evaluation to run alongside security and procurement due diligence.
Architecture
Defined SaaS service boundary.
Australian hosting
Australian-hosted service model.
Environments
Test and production workflows.
Data handling
Defined retention and responsibilities.
Procurement
Security, service and contractual documentation.
Build vs integrate
Direct ATO integration introduces an additional technical and operational domain that needs to be maintained alongside the accounting product itself.
We are interested in speaking with accounting software providers planning new or expanded Australian Activity Statement capability.
