Practitioner lodgment service transition dates

The practitioner lodgment service (PLS) is now the only electronic lodgment channel for tax professionals. The electronic lodgment service (ELS) gateway has now closed.

ELS closure dates

We have been working closely with you over recent months to finalise the closure dates for the remaining ELS forms, schedules and reports.

Digital Service Providers (DSPs) were consulted at Practitioner lodgment service working group meetings and also had opportunities to provide individual feedback based on their specific circumstances. The following dates are now finalised.
