Download E-Record

Posted by kilbot | Filed under: Downloads

Since July 2010, the Australian Tax Office withdrew support for E-Record – their free electronic record-keeping system. For small businesses (like mine) this is a disappointment, while E-Record was very simple it provided all the functionality necessary without the steep learning curve of other software.

The ATO website no longer includes links for the E-Record software which means that many of us have been left without software to access our old records. For convenience I have included download links for both the Windows and Mac software below. If anyone has advice on the best replacement for E-Record we’d love to hear them in the comments!

Download e-Record Version 6.2 Win32 – 16.1 MB

Download e-Record Version 6.2 Mac – 13.2 MB

Please Note: These files will be available here for as long as people still need them They will always be free, however, if you download the files please consider ‘liking’ us on Facebook – we would really appreciate it and it costs nothing! The files are provided ‘as is’, I provide no support for the software and you agree to use at your own risk!

    WELL DONE ON CONTINUING TO SUPPLY E – RECORD  &   BRICKBATS TO THE ATO FOR DUMPING IT  !!

  • deb

    Thanks very much for this, I am happy with its simplicity and recently lost my previous version when I had problems with the computer. 

  • Bid

    thankyou. thankyou. thankyou. thankyou.
    I know I should have been more aware but the fact is, I wasn’t.
    It came time to transfer my Tax Affairs to a new computer and ~  WHAM!  ~  no more ATO downloads of e-Record 6.2.
    You are a legend and a lifesaver.

    THEN, what the Quokk is the best replacement?

    Peace.    Bid

    Hi Bid, no problem hosting these files for as long as needed, I’m happy to help. 

    As far as a replacement .. I’m still not sure. At the moment I’m going to stick with the old version of e-Record. As far as I can see it is fine to use for a couple of years yet, hopefully a new program will emerge before then!

    Glad to be defiant where the ATO is concerned!

  • Nat

    Thank heaps for allowing us to down load e-record.  We had our laptop stolen that had it on.  It is a fantastic program.  I don’t know what I would have done without it.

  • David

    Thankyou so much….unfortunately I have upgraded my mac and I don’t think it will run this software. I haven’t kept records since they withdrew the support….I’m so disappointed.

    Hi

    I tried Version 6.2 on my Mac running 10.6.2 and of course it won’t run……still have no means of tax record keeping. I’m struggling with Excel but apart from getting my head around the program I still have to create all the forms which is no easy task in itself….I think it was most unfair of the ATO to withdraw support….they’re blatant bullies really and we should take a “peoples action against them…cheers David

  • Shane

    Thank you so much for doing this.  I was lost without it when I changed my computer and could not find anything else comparable for simplicity and ease of operation.  
    Well done
    Shane

  • Pgase

    I much appreciate your posting of eRecord.
    Thanks for the generosity that ATO can’t provide.

  • Garryheaney

    When I go to open the download it is telling me Power PC applications are not supported I have the latest Mac

  • Bent

    My erecord was find until I installed the latest upgrade to Snow Leopard – 10.6.8 – now it’s cactus.  I’ve just downloaded it from this site and installed it on an old Mac I have lying around.  And it works fine on older versions of snow leopard.

    Hi Allan, there is no updates to the software. You will need to use an older version of the MacOS (with rosetta) or find a Windows computer.
