Looking at a company restructure as when we first started out our account advised to set up as a company then a business trading name. We have now downsized and looking at changing to either a family trust or sole trader. Is this possible?

Hi @Ynot1234,


You can change your business structure if the nature of your business has changed. To do so you'll need to cancel your ABN and apply for a new one that reflects your new business structure. It's recommended that you seek professional advice from a tax agent when making changes like this.


I'd recommend having a look at the information about the different business structures to make sure you're choosing one that is right for you.
