How to add a new business account

If you already have an Australian business number (ABN) and would like to apply for GST and PAYG withholding, you can do so online at the Business Portal or Tax Agent Portal using an AUSkey.

You can register for an AUSkey - a single key to access government online services at www.abr.gov.au/auskey
