What is an Australian Business Number (ABN)?

An Australian Business Number (ABN) is a unique 11-digit identifier issued by the Australian Business Register (ABR) to businesses operating in Australia. It's used for tax and business identification purposes.

The ABN system was introduced on 1 July 2000 as part of the Australian Government's tax reform. Every registered business, including sole traders, partnerships, companies, trusts, and government entities, can obtain an ABN.
