You'll need to register your business for taxation purposes. Read our information about how to:

• register for an Australian Business Number (ABN)
• register for the Goods & Services Tax (GST)
• register for a Tax File Number (TFN)

Your products may also determine the type of registrations you need. If you import or manufacture industrial chemicals (including cosmetics) you must register with the National Industrial Chemicals Notification and Assessment Scheme (NICNAS).
