ABN Declarations

Please review and confirm the following declarations

I have all the necessary information to complete the ABN application

  • I have the TFN, date of birth and name, OR name, address and date of birth for all key people in my business (For example: Partners, directors, trustees)

I believe I am entitled to an ABN

  • I am not applying because I have been asked to get an ABN as a condition of employment. Successful ABN applications may be reviewed and if an employer has required you to get an ABN it means you are unlikely to be entitled and your ABN may be cancelled.
  • I meet a number of the key characteristics of a business, or will once started, eg:
    • I source my own clients
    • I can delegate my work to others if I choose
    • I invoice for my work and set my rate of pay
    • I have a bank account for the business separate from my own bank account
    • I am responsible for my own public liability, professional indemnity and/or workers compensation/income protection insurance
    • I have taken real steps to start my business, or
      • I am running an enterprise or
      • I am a Corporations Act company
  • I can provide evidence that I am entitled to an ABN if requested. Successful ABN applications are reviewed to ensure only businesses, enterprises or Corporations Act companies get, and keep, an ABN.

I understand my obligations

  • To provide true and correct information in my ABN application. Penalties of up to $10,200 can apply for each false or misleading statement made in an ABN application.
  • Once I have an ABN I must keep it up to date (within 28 days of any change) and cancel it once I am no longer trading or carrying on an enterprise.
