ABN Registration
This is the first step in getting your business started. An Australian business number (ABN) is a 11 digit number that identifies your business to the government and community. You will need to register an ABN to start trading and you’ll need it for tax and other business activities.

– Expect your turnover to reach the GST threshold (or more) in the first year of operation.
– If you’re already in business and have reached the GST threshold.
– If your non-profit organisation has a GST turnover of $150,000 per year or more.
– When you provide taxi or limousine travel for passengers (including ride-sourcing) regardless of your GST turnover – this applies to both owner drivers and if you lease or rent a taxi.
– If you want to claim fuel tax credits for your business or enterprise.

Registering for GST as a sole trader is the same as registering any other business type.
If you do not register, the ATO will require you to pay GST on sales made since the date you were required to register. This could happen even if you didn’t include GST in the price of those sales. You may also be fined or have to pay interest on the excess amount.
