The ABN does not replace your TFN. The ATO may use your TFN to confirm your identity. Without your TFN, the ATO may reject your application or may put it in the queue for manual review which can cause delays in processing your application.

If you want to register a company, it is a different entity type to a sole trader. If you have a company, you have to register the company with ASIC and pay an annual fee to keep the company registered. The company will then be a “Pty Ltd”.
