If you make changes to your business such as your business structure, name, or contact details, you need to tell all the stakeholders in your business and relevant agencies, organisations and governments.

The change in your business circumstance will dictate who you notify.

The Australian Taxation Office (ATO), Australian Securities & Investments Commission (ASIC) and the Australian Business Register (ABR) require you to report changes within 28 days.

Update your business name details

Make sure you keep your business name details up to date with ASIC, including your

  • postal, email and business addresses
  • authorised contact person details.

Update your registration details

You need to keep your registered business details up to date with the ATO and ABR, such as your:

  • postal, email and business address
  • main business activity
  • financial institution account information
  • authorised contact person details.

Update your ABN details

If you’ve made changes to your business you’ll need to change your Australian Business Number (ABN) details on the ABR.

Did you know?

Your main business address on the ABR should not be a post office box or tax or BAS agent address (unless you are running your business as a tax or BAS agent).

To ensure you have access to the right government financial support, we need to know the physical street address of your business or organisation.
