Common Questions About How to Find an ABN

How do I find an ABN for any Australian business?
You can find an ABN instantly using our free lookup tool above. Simply enter the business name or ABN number and our tool will query the Australian Business Register in real time, returning the entity name, registration status, business structure, and GST details associated with that number.
Is the ABN lookup tool free to use?
Yes, completely. Our ABN lookup tool is free and publicly accessible to anyone. The Australian Business Register is a public database, and no account, subscription, or payment is required to search for and verify any Australian Business Number.
What information can I find when I look up an ABN?
A standard ABN search returns the registered entity name, the current status of the ABN (active or cancelled), the entity type and business structure, the date of ABN registration, and whether the entity is registered for GST. This information is drawn directly from the official Australian Business Register.
What should I do if I cannot find an ABN for a contractor or supplier?
If a search returns no active ABN for a contractor or supplier, you should request their registration details directly before making any payment. Under Australian tax law, if a supplier does not quote a valid ABN, you are generally required to withhold 47% of the payment and remit it to the ATO. Our specialists can also assist if you need to register your own ABN to operate legally.
