ONe-key verifies a user's identity, authorizes their access and protects the security of their information when doing business with the government online. Once you've completed the one-time registration for ONe-key you can use the same ID and password to access online programs available through ONe-key, including ONT-TAXS online.
Do I create my own ONe-key ID and password?
Yes. To protect your security, you choose your own unique ONe-key ID and password. From the Ministry of Finance site, select Login to ONe-key. Then, select New User and follow the online instructions to create your ONe-key ID and password. Remember, you only need to complete the ONe-key registration the first time you access ONT-TAXS online.
