Q&A

Question: Do I need both a Tax File Number and an Australian Business Number?

Answer:

Although you are able to secure your Tax File Number (TFN) and Australian Business Number (ABN) using one application, each serves a different purpose. Most entities (whether sole trader, trust, or company) require a TFN in order to lodge annual tax returns. You require an ABN if you are conducting a business.
