Tax Return with ABN Income
An Australian Business Number (ABN) is an 11-digit number that uniquely identifies your business to the government and the community. It is used for tax and other business purposes but does not replace your Tax File Number (TFN). For sole traders, the ABN serves as an individual identifier for tax purposes, allowing business expenses to be reported in your business tax return.
An ABN is essential for tracking business transactions for tax purposes. To qualify for an ABN, you must operate an enterprise, meaning you’re responsible for managing your own income tax, superannuation, and GST obligations.

When your ABN is registered as a sole trader, you’re treated as an individual for tax purposes. This allows you to report both your business income and expenses in your personal tax return. As a sole trader, you’ll pay tax at individual income tax rates, which can change from year to year, so it’s important to stay informed about the current rates applicable to your reporting period.
Since tax laws and rates can change, it’s always wise to consult a tax advisor for guidance on preparing your income tax returns, ensuring compliance, and optimising your tax outcomes.
