You are not entitled to an ABN if the activity you carry out is as an employee.

If you intend to carry on a business with a view to making a profit, then you are entitled to an A.B.N.

Australian business numbers were introduced to enable businesses in Australia to deal with government departments and agencies using a single identification number.

The ABN is a public number that does not replace your tax file number.

You will need an ABN when:

• • registering your business,
• • registering for  G.S.T.,
• • registering for  P.A.Y.G. tax,
• • registering for Fuel Tax Credits Scheme.
