About a month ago, the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) launched their new website – given the high volume of content on their site, I expect it was a mammoth task!

Apart from the uncluttered and more modern look and feel of the site, some of the features they have highlighted to users include:*

Improved navigation – as a small business owner, you’ll get your own ‘menu’ of relevant topics when you hover over the business menu tab.

Improved search – results will flag any new content, show the date content was last updated, and will soon include relevant social media posts and videos.

A better experience on mobile devices – you’ll find the site easier to use on all your devices, with larger touch-friendly buttons, user-friendly mobile menus and larger text.

atoTV – no need to view our videos through YouTube – you’ll be able to watch them on our site, minus the ads. Also, clickable links in videos will make completing tasks on the site a breeze.

Improved content – we have a new topic homepage that lets you get a feel for topics at a glance and, where relevant, go straight to the page you need to complete a task.

Looks like the ATO are moving with the times – take a look and let me know your thoughts…
