ABN entitlement tool (individuals/sole traders)

Find out if you are entitled to an Australian business number by completing this online questionnaire.

When applying for an ABN it is important that the information you provide is true and correct. Making a false or misleading statement to the Australian Business Register (ABR) may result in a penalty. However, if you made a mistake and we consider that you took reasonable care, a penalty will not apply. The penalty may also be reduced to nil if a voluntary disclosure is made about the statement before being contacted by the ABR.

For more information on the penalty and voluntary disclosure, refer to Penalties for false or misleading statements made to the Australian Business Register.
