To the person in charge
I would like to obtain an ABN but I don't know how to apply.
We are in Japan and need to obtain an ABN to avoid GST.
We need an ABN to sell on Amazon.
It cannot be applied for from the page in the link.
Please tell us how to do it.

Hi @schooltokyo,
If you’re selling on Amazon Australia it's usually considered a supply connected with Australia, so you may be eligible for an ABN. We have some info on how non-residents can apply for an ABN available – check out the link for instructions.
Getting an ABN doesn’t mean you avoid GST. If you’re selling goods or services to Australian customers and your GST turnover is $75,000 or more, you’ll need to register for GST whether you have an ABN or not. You can apply for GST at the same time as applying for your ABN.
