As Seen On

If you’re planning on selling products at markets, it’s important to know whether or not you need an ABN or Australian Business Number. An ABN is a unique 11-digit identifier used to identify businesses and other entities in Australia. It is issued by the Australian Business Register (ABR) and is required for various business activities, including selling at markets.

So, do you need an ABN to sell at markets? The answer is: it depends. You may not need an ABN if you’re selling products at markets as a hobby or as a one-off event. However, if you’re selling products at markets on a regular basis or if you’re selling products online, you will likely need an ABN.

There are a few key reasons why you might need an ABN to sell at markets:

  1. To claim GST credits: If you’re registered for GST and selling taxable goods or services, you’ll need an ABN to claim GST credits.
  2. To register for a business name: If you want to register a business name, you’ll need an ABN.
  3. To open a business bank account: Many banks will require you to have an ABN to open a business bank account.
  4. To register for other business licenses or permits: Depending on the type of products you’re selling and the location of your market, you may need to register for other business licenses or permits. In these cases, you’ll typically need an ABN.

The Bottom Line

In summary, whether or not you need an ABN to sell at markets will depend on the specifics of your business. If you’re selling products regularly or registering for GST, you’ll likely need an ABN. It’s always a good idea to check with the relevant authorities to confirm whether or not you need an ABN for your specific business activities.

Up until working with Casey, we had only had poor to mediocre experiences outsourcing work to agencies. Casey & the team at CJ&CO are the exception to the rule.

Communication was beyond great, his understanding of our vision was phenomenal, and instead of needing babysitting like the other agencies we worked with, he was not only completely dependable but also gave us sound suggestions on how to get better results, at the risk of us not needing him for the initial job we requested (absolute gem).

This has truly been the first time we worked with someone outside of our business that quickly grasped our vision, and that I could completely forget about and would still deliver above expectations.

I honestly can’t wait to work in many more projects together!
