Tax Return SECURITY
Online Tax Return Security with GoTax
When you hand over your private tax info, you want to know it’s locked up tighter than Fort Knox. At GoTax, your details don’t just sit around — they’re encrypted, guarded, and handled only by registered tax agents.
How We Protect Your Data
-
ATO-Compliant Systems: We’re on the official TPB register, which means everything we do is legally bound to ATO standards.
-
Bank-Level Encryption: Your info is protected with AES-128 and TLS 1.2 encryption — the same technology used by banks and government.
-
Hosted in Australia: Data never leaves Aussie soil. It’s stored securely with providers that meet strict government standards.
-
No Outsourcing: Your tax info isn’t passed around offshore. Everything is done in-house by our qualified team.
Is GoTax Safe?
Yep. As safe as your secure online tax return. Safer than your shoebox of receipts under the bed. And way more private than shouting your tax file number across the counter at the post office.
FAQs: Tax Return Security
Is GoTax safe for online tax returns?

Will my personal info be shared?
No. Your data stays encrypted and stored securely in Australia.
What happens if I forget my password?
We use secure password resets and multi-factor authentication. Only you can unlock your account.
Who can access my information?

Can GoTax see my bank account details?
No. We only access the info you provide. If you link prefill data, it flows securely from the ATO, not your bank.

All data is hosted securely in Australia with providers that meet strict government standards.
What if there’s a data breach?
We’ve got incident response plans, encryption, and monitoring in place. Plus, as a registered tax agent, we’re legally obliged to act fast and protect you.
Do I need to install anything to use GoTax?
Nope. Everything runs through your browser. No dodgy downloads, no extra software. Just log in and go.
What makes GoTax safer than doing it myself on paper?
Paper can get lost, stolen, or seen by anyone. With GoTax, your details are encrypted, stored securely, and backed by compliance rules that keep ATO and hackers at bay.
