Tax File Number (TFN), not mandatory but strongly recommended:

The TFN itself has 9 digits, with a check digit. Individuals received a 9-digit TFN. Your Tax File Number (TFN) can be found on any official TAX Office documents. We may contact you to provide your TFN if the ATO cannot verify your information with the details you have provided, as a TFN number is required for an ABN to be issued.

Can't find your TFN?

Look at your income tax notice of assessment.

Look at a payment summary (provided by your employer) or your super statement.

If you have a myGov account linked to the ATO, you can access your TFN online.

Business Name Cancellation Details

Reasons why we may initiate the cancellation of a Business Name

There are a number of reasons why we may initiate the cancellation of a business name.

Some of the common reasons include:
  • - The business name holder does not renew their business name registration.
  • - The business name holder is a company that has been deregistered.
  • - We become aware of a matter after registration that would have affected our initial decision to register the business name.
  • - We become aware that the entity is disqualified from holding a business name.
  • - We are satisfied the entity is not carrying on a business under the business name (for example, the Australian Business Number (ABN) has been cancelled) and has not been carrying on a business for the last three months
  • - The entity fails to notify us of a change in information within the required time, or
  • - The entity fails to respond to an ASIC request for information.

GST Cancellation Details (Cancelling your GST registration)

  • - Are a taxi driver (including ride-sourcing or chauffeur services).
  • - Represent an incapacitated entity who is registered or required to be registered for GST – for example, an individual who is bankrupt or a company in liquidation.
