Business registration questions
Which business structure is right for me?
It depends on your income, risk, who’s involved and your plans for growth. We explain how a sole trader, partnership, company or trust would work for you before anything is registered. See our company set-up checklist.
Do I need to register for GST?
You must register for GST once your GST turnover reaches $75,000 a year ($150,000 for non-profits). Taxi and rideshare drivers must register from their first trip, whatever their turnover. You can also choose to register below the threshold.
Do I need an ABN and a TFN?
Most businesses need an ABN. Companies, trusts and partnerships also need their own TFN, separate from your personal one. We apply for both as part of your set-up.
Can you help once my business is set up?
Yes. We can look after your bookkeeping, BAS and tax returns from day one.
