AUSTRALIAN BUSINESS REGISTRATION PARTNERS – WHAT IS AN ABN PARTNER?

• An Australian Business Register (ABR) partner is a government agency that has entered into an agreement with the Registrar of the Australian Business Register to either:
  

  • access Australian business number (ABN) details from the ABR (in accordance with the law)
  • adopt AUSkey as the online security key that businesses can use to transact with them online
  • make an online registration transaction available to businesses via the ABR.

  Access to ABR data

  ABN legislation allows the Registrar to disclose ABR information to eligible Australian, state, territory and local government agencies that have a legal right to the information as specified by the A New Tax System (Australian Business Number) Act 1999.
  The goal is to:
  

  • make it easier for businesses to conduct their dealings with government
  • reduce the number of government registration and reporting requirements for business.

  ABR partners can use ABR information to:
  

  • simplify their interactions with their clients
  • identify and verify businesses that have an ABN
  • check important information such as the GST status of a business
  • identify businesses for registration, research and analysis purposes (using industry coding)
  • confirm if the name, address and associate details of business clients are correct.

  There are two types of information access available to ABR partners:
  

  • Partners listed under Public access are those that have access to information which is publicly available for viewing and searching via ABN Lookup . A list of publicly available data items can be found at What information can be accessed on the ABR .
  • Partners listed under Non-public access also have access to information which is confidential. The data items accessible by eligible government agencies can be found at What information can be accessed on the ABR.

  AUSkey

  AUSkey is a single key for:
  

  • login to business-to-government online services
  • lodging reports directly to government through business, financial or payroll software. For more information, refer to www.sbr.gov.au .

  In the future, businesses may no longer need different user IDs and passwords as AUSkey becomes accepted by more government agencies for their online services.
  For more information about Government agencies and initiatives which use AUSkey to provide businesses with access to online services, go to www.abr.gov.au/auskey and select Where AUSkey is accepted from the left hand menu.
