ABN Application FAQs
Do I need an ABN for my business?
+
You need an ABN if you: 1) Carry on an enterprise in Australia, 2) Expect annual turnover of $75,000 or more (GST registration threshold), 3) Want to avoid PAYG tax withholding from your payments, 4) Need to register for GST, 5) Want to claim GST credits, 6) Need to confirm your business identity to others.
What’s the difference between an ABN and TFN?
+
An ABN (Australian Business Number) identifies your business to government and other businesses. A TFN (Tax File Number) is for individuals to manage their tax affairs. Businesses also need a TFN for tax purposes. Sole traders use their personal TFN, while companies, partnerships and trusts need a separate business TFN.
When should I register for GST?
+
You must register for GST if your business has a GST turnover of $75,000 or more ($150,000 for non-profit organizations). You can also register voluntarily if your turnover is below these thresholds. Once registered, you must charge GST on taxable sales, claim GST credits, and lodge BAS statements.
How long does it take to get an ABN?
+
If your application is complete and straightforward, you may receive your ABN immediately. More complex applications can take up to 28 days. Applications may be delayed if additional information is required or if there are issues verifying your identity or business details.
Can I change my business structure later?
+
Yes, you can change your business structure as your business grows or your circumstances change. Common changes include sole trader to company, or partnership to company. Changing structure may have tax implications and require new registrations. We can help you navigate these changes smoothly.
