ABN Declarations

Please review and confirm the following declarations

I have all the necessary information to complete the ABN application

  • I understand the best structure for my business (For example: Sole Trader, Company, Partnership, Trust or Superannuation Fund)
  • 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.

ABN Entitlement Check

Verify your eligibility to register for an ABN

Will your activities be carried out in Australia?

An entity that is carrying on an enterprise in Australia, or that in the course of carrying on an enterprise, makes supplies connected with Australia (such as an overseas entity that doesn't have a permanent establishment in Australia), is entitled to an ABN. A supply of goods is connected with Australia if the goods are:

  • delivered or made available in Australia to the purchaser
  • removed from Australia, or
  • brought to Australia, provided the seller either imports the goods into Australia or installs or assembles the goods in Australia

A supply of real property is connected with Australia if the real property, or the land to which the property relates, is in Australia.

A supply of something other than goods or property is connected with Australia if:

  • the thing is done in Australia
  • the seller makes the supply through a business they carry on in Australia, or
  • the supply is of a right to purchase something that would be connected with Australia

Australia does not include any external Territory, for example Norfolk Island, Christmas Island and the Cocos (Keeling Islands).

Australia does include an installation that is deemed by section 5C of the Customs Act 1901 to be part of Australia.
