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.

– Tax file number (TFN) and the TFNs of any associates – eg partners, directors and trustees.
– Entity legal name – appears on all official documents or legal papers

Provided you supply all the information required, you will usually receive online notification of your ABN immediately upon completion of the ABN application.

If you omit information or it cannot be verified an ABN will not be allocated immediately. Under these circumstances your application will be processed manually and can take up to 28 days.

You can conduct any number of businesses/activities under the same ABN provided they all operate under the same business structure. If your second or subsequent business operates under a different structure, you need to apply for separate ABNs for each new business structure.

Business name registration

A business name is the name your business operates under and you will need to register your business name if you conduct business under a name other than your own. Check to see if a business name is available by using our business name availability search.

Register for GST

Q&A

You will need to register for GST when your business or enterprise:

– Has a GST turnover (gross income minus GST) of $75,000 or more.
– 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.

$70 – One off fee.

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.
