What is the difference between an Australian Company Number (ACN) and an Australian Business Number (ABN)?
- An ACN is issued by ASIC for identification of your company when it is trading or undertaking business activities.
- An ACN must be shown on most company documents including invoices, cheques, letterheads, company notices, financial reports and more.
- An ABN is similar and will often contain the same numbers as an ACN. However it may also be held by businesses which are not a company.
- Your ACN or ABN may also be used for identification purposes.
