Evolution To ABN
When the GST was introduced in Australia the government also introduced a number of complementary measures. These included the ABN, removal of wholesale Sales Tax exemptions and changes to the FBT and changes to the treatment of trusts and charities. A company's Australian Business Number (ABN) frequently includes the ACN as the last nine digits. The ABN indicates that a person, trust or company is registered with the Australian Business Register (ABR). The ABR facilitates and streamlines many Australian business-to-government and government-to-business processes, such as Australian Tax Office transactions involving the collection and remittance of the Goods and Services Tax (GST).
A similar Australian Registered Body Number (ARBN) is used for non-company entities such as registerable Australian bodies, and for foreign companies.

Famous quotes containing the word evolution:
“Like Freud, Jung believes that the human mind contains archaic remnants, residues of the long history and evolution of mankind. In the unconscious, primordial “universally human images” lie dormant. Those primordial images are the most ancient, universal and “deep” thoughts of mankind. Since they embody feelings as much as thought, they are properly “thought feelings.” Where Freud postulates a mass psyche, Jung postulates a collective psyche.”
—Patrick Mullahy (b. 1912)
