Australian Tax Office
The Australian Tax Office collects federal tax revenues and serves as the government entity for individuals and businesses to register for tax purposes. Businesses require an “ABN” (Australian Business Number) in order to conduct business. Corporations require an “ACN (Australian Company Number).
In addition to federal taxes, State and Territory governments also raise taxes from individuals and companies.

Australia’s ‘Big 4’ banks have remained largely unaffected by the Global Financial Crises (GFC) and the downturn in economies across the globe. Unlike many banks across the globe who were downgraded as a result of the GFC, each of these banks have retained their AA credit ratings and are amongst only eleven banks world-wide to have done so.
