I believe so yes Rod, I believe that anyone who runs a business needs an
abn unless it is a hobby(then it is not classed as a business) otherwise
40% or something needs to be withheld on payment. The over $50,000 is
for registration for GST. I only earn a few thousand a year but I still
have an ABN.
