What is an ABN, and how do I get one?
ABN literally stands for Australian Business Number. Like a Tax File Number (TFN), it is a unique number that identifies your business to the tax office and other official bodies. There is no cost involved when applying for an ABN and they can be applied for online. You can either ‘click’ the link provided; www.ato.gov.au/businesses/default.asp?menu=43064 or alternatively you can apply off line through forms available at the Australian Taxation Office [ATO] or your tax agent.
