Obtaining an Australian Business Number (ABN)
Payment Gateway providers will require at least an ABN.
If the organisation does not have its own tax file number then the committee members or at least the executive will need to provide their tax file numbers, dates of birth and current addresses as part of the ABN application.
The organisation can still have an ABN without registering for GST (if turnover is less than $150,000 per year) and therefore will not be required to lodge Business Activity Statements.
