Documentation

Definition

The Australian Business Number (ABN) is the identifying number that businesses will use when dealing with other businesses.

For example, you will need to put an ABN on your invoices to other businesses to avoid having tax withheld from payments to you. You will use your ABN in dealings with the ATO on PAYG and other elements of the Tax System, and in dealings with other areas of government. If you are registered for GST, you will also need to put an ABN on your invoices to make 'tax invoices'. ABN allows business to meet its regulatory obligations and access information and assistance through a single entry point to government

ABN details are maintained by the ATO for all Commonwealth purposes.
