Re-Activate or Apply for an ABN

How to apply and reapply

The ABN is a unique 11-digit number that identifies your Australian business or organisation to the government and community.

Not everyone is entitled to an ABN. You may face prosecution or criminal charges if you apply for an ABN, register for GST and claim GST refunds when you’re not entitled.

You may be subject to an ABN entitlement review at any time. If ASIC conduct a review, you’ll be asked to provide evidence that you commenced, or took steps to commence, your business or enterprise from the start date provided in your ABN application.
