Hi there,
I'd like to ask about the ABN application I submitted yesterday. I plan to work as a delivery/courier for Amazon (sole trader). And today I received an email from the ATO that my application was unsuccessful. How should I apply for an ABN to start my small business?
I've answered all the questions in the application form.
Anyone can help me with this, please?
Thank you.
Hello @EkaSarjana,
Many people are unsuccessful in their first attempt at getting an ABN. The usual problem is that you may not have answered a question correctly when you submitted the application. I would suggest checking your refusal letter for the reason your application was unsuccessful. That same letter will have a list of options if you don't accept our decision.
