I can see that Australian reference number (ARN) can be used for overseas entities to collect GST and pay it to ATO. (I also understand any GST registered business can't claim these GST as credits because there's no ABN = no tax invoice).


Other than GST, can ARN be used for other things? e.g. paying PAYG withholding if have employees in Australia?
