If you’re planning to do business in Australia, you’ll need the right tax registrations — starting with an Australian Business Number (ABN).
At RBizz Corporate Accountants, we specialise in helping foreign entrepreneurs, investors and global companies register ABN in Australia, along with GST, TFN, PAYG and other business tax registrations.
Whether you want to register a GST in Australia, get tax registrations for your new company, or simply understand which registrations apply to your situation, we make it simple.
Our expert team ensures every registration is fast, compliant, and aligned with Australian Taxation Office (ATO) requirements.
ABN Identifier
A unique 11-digit identifier used by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) and other government agencies.
Foreign Clients
Foreign clients often find the process confusing — particularly regarding who qualifies and which other tax registrations are required.
RBizz Expertise
We simplify this process through our expert ABN and GST registration services, ensuring your business is compliant and ready to trade.
Identifying your business for tax and regulatory purposes;
Registering for GST (Goods and Services Tax);
Issuing valid tax invoices;
Claiming GST credits;
Dealing with Australian customers, suppliers and banks; and
Lodging business activity statements (BAS) and tax returns.
You must register for an ABN if you:
Operate or plan to operate a business in Australia;
Provide goods or services connected with Australia;
Are a foreign company carrying on business in Australia;
Have or will have a permanent establishment (office, branch, staff or agent) in Australia; or
Need to register for GST or lodge Australian tax returns.
If you are not carrying on business in Australia, you may not be eligible for an ABN.
In this case, a different structure—such as registering a foreign company or local subsidiary—may be required.
Reference: ATO – ABN EntitlementForeign companies can obtain an ABN if they are registered with ASIC as a local company or a foreign company with an Australian Registered Body Number (ARBN).
Foreign individuals can only get an ABN if they are carrying on business in Australia and meet ATO eligibility tests.
ABN applications from overseas require additional proof of identity and supporting documentation.

We verify your eligibility, prepare and lodge all forms, manage identity verification and liaison with the ATO and ASIC, and ensure your ABN registration is approved without delay.
GST Registration & Compliance
GST is a 10% tax on most goods and services sold or consumed in Australia.
A business must register for GST if:
Its expected annual turnover is AUD 75,000 or more;
It provides taxable supplies connected with Australia; or
It wishes to claim GST input credits.
For non-resident businesses, GST registration may be required even without a permanent establishment — for example, when selling goods or digital services to Australian customers.
Additional Business Registrations
Beyond basic identifiers, your operations may require specific tax registrations to ensure full Australian compliance.
