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:
“By contrast with history, evolution is an unconscious process. Another, and perhaps a better way of putting it would be to say that evolution is a natural process, history a human one.... Insofar as we treat man as a part of naturefor instance in a biological survey of evolutionwe are precisely not treating him as a historical being. As a historically developing being, he is set over against nature, both as a knower and as a doer.”
—Owen Barfield (b. 1898)
