Are your ABN details up to date?

When  did you last check  your Australian Business Number  (ABN) details on the Australian Business Register (ABR)? If you’re not sure, it’s time to check  your details are correct. Emergency services and  government agencies use ABN details to identify businesses in areas affected by emergencies. Checking that both your physical business address and  postal address are listed and up to date  is important.


 

Other ABN details include authorised contacts, contact details and business activities. If your details are incorrect, you may miss out on important help, information or opportunities like financial grants.

 

The fastest way to update your ABN details is through  ABR online services (using your myGovID). If you’re no longer using your ABN, you need to cancel it. The ATO actively reviews ABN entitlement and may cancel your ABN if there  are no signs of business activity. Tip! Although it’s your responsibility to keep  your ABN details up to date, your tax advisor can do it for you.  Please get in touch with us for assistance.
