Account Management is a sub-domain of Obligation Management (OBLMGT). This page contains information and artefacts for Digital Service Providers (DSPs) who have or are interested in developing web services that enable a business or their intermediary to manage their account and role information with the ATO. The services described below are only deployed on the SBR ebMS3 platform.

For ease of use, services have been organised into the following business processes:

  • Account details – Allows users to list Tax and Superannuation accounts.
  • Role details – Allows users to list, retrieve, add, update and cancel Activity Statement roles, along with providing a view of Superannuation roles.
  • Transactions – Allows users to list ATO financial transactions for a particular account or role.

SBR ebMS3 webservices artefacts

The Australian Taxation Office has developed an ebMS/AS4 implementation extending on the SBR initiative to simplify Business to Government reporting obligations and aligning with the messaging standards chosen for Superannuation Reform. While this implementation replaces the existing SBR message wrapping, it does not replace the eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) body provided in SBR web services, in fact the ATO implementation of the new system reuses the existing SBR XBRL message body for the majority of the services provided in the new format.

The following information describes how to implement web services consuming the ebMS3/AS4 messaging standard (SBR ebMS3). 

  • SBR ebMS3 web service implementation guide

    The SBR ebMS3 web service implementation guide (WIG) describes common technical components and services that are re-used by all business services. The common services include whole of government gateways that expose services and supports the protocol for message exchange, standard message types, standard response time service levels, standard message structures, a security token service, and a standardised approach to handling business error conditions and transport exceptions.



    There is a separate SBR Core Services WIG. 
  • SBR ebMS3 software developer kit guide

    The SBR ebMS3 software developer kit (SDK) guide identifies the key components and functionality that comprise the SDK solution. Some of these components are re-used from the previously released SBR Core Services SDK and hence the reader is pointed to the reference for existing documentation. For the new components, this document will outline the usage details and the API specification (where applicable).
