Setting up and permissions in QRO Online

Tips, tricks and guides to setting up your account and troubleshooting some common issues

On this page:

    Use a personal email address

    • You must use a personal email address to create an individual account in QRO Online (e.g. mary@email.com).
    • Do not use generic or shared email addresses (e.g. accounts@company.mail). Using a shared account means that your personal information will be accessible to anyone who logs in using the shared email address.
    • Each account must be individually verified.

    Once your account is created, you can then link to a company or trust to lodge returns or transactions and make payments on its behalf.

    Land tax

    If you can’t see the My land and View accounts tiles, it might be because you haven’t verified your identity when creating your full-access account, or that you created a quick-access account instead. You need a full-access account if you want to manage ongoing land tax obligations.

    If you personally own land in Queensland, you’ll be able to access information about your landholdings (once you’ve verified your account). This doesn’t mean you owe land tax—it just means we have identified land held in your name.

    To find your land tax details:

    Royalty

    If you can’t see information about your royalty operation or resource authorities, it might be because you aren’t registered as the authority client.

    If you personally hold an interest (or share) in a mining or petroleum resource authority and you are the registered royalty client, you’ll be able to access information about your royalty operation and resource authorities.

    Select:

    Link an account

    Before you can give someone else access to information and records in your QRO Online account, you need to create your personal account and verify your identity.

    To add accounts for another person or a company or trust, you need to create a contact card. Then you’ll be able to link to another account.

    See the steps to link to accounts for other people, companies and trusts.

    Assign access and permissions

    Before you can give access to other people (e.g. another staff member or the company accountant), you must have permission to manage a company or trust account.

    Once you have permission, you can assign access to other users. They won’t see your personal information (e.g. details of land that you own in your name).

    To assign access:

    1. Select View accounts on the Home screen.
    2. Select the entity.
    3. Select Assign permission from the left menu.
