Start Your Business on the Right Foundation

Starting a new business is exciting, but navigating the maze of registrations, structures, and compliance requirements can be overwhelming. At Pay Your Taxes, we simplify the entire process. From helping you choose the right legal structure to securing your ABN, TFN, GST registration, and company incorporation, we handle every step – so you can focus on launching and growing your business with confidence, fully compliant from day one.

How We Work

We begin by understanding your business vision, goals, and risk profile. Based on this, we recommend the most suitable legal structure – whether you're a solo entrepreneur best suited as a sole trader, launching with partners under a partnership, seeking the limited liability protection of a proprietary limited company, or looking at the flexibility of a trust structure

Once the structure is decided, we manage all your registrations. For sole traders and partnerships, we secure your Australian Business Number (ABN) and Tax File Number (TFN) through the Australian Business Register. For companies, we handle the ASIC registration process – submitting Form 201, securing your Australian Company Number (ACN), and ensuring all director and shareholder details are correctly lodged. We also assist with director ID registration, which is now mandatory for all company directors

  • Business Structure Advice

    We help you choose the right legal structure – sole trader, partnership, company, or trust – based on your goals, risk tolerance, and tax position.

  • Full Registration Support

    We handle ABN, TFN, GST, PAYG withholding, business name registration, and company incorporation with ASIC – all in one seamless process.

  • Director ID & Compliance

    We guide you through director identification number registration, corporate compliance obligations, and ongoing governance requirements.

Beyond core registrations, we assess your tax obligations and register you for GST if your projected turnover exceeds $75,000 – or earlier if you choose voluntary registration. If you plan to hire staff, we register you for PAYG withholding before you make your first payment to employees. We also register your business name with ASIC and ensure you understand your ongoing compliance obligations, including BAS lodgments, annual statements, and tax return deadlines.

For Individuals & Sole Traders

If you're starting out as a sole trader, we help you establish your business quickly and correctly. We guide you through the ABN application process, ensuring you have all the required information – your business structure, proof of identity, details of your business activities, and your start date. We also help you understand your tax obligations, including reporting business income in your individual tax return, managing PAYG instalments if required, and claiming deductions for work‑related and business expenses

For those launching with one or more partners, we advise on partnership structures – including partnership agreements, profit-sharing arrangements, and each partner's tax obligations. We ensure every partner understands their personal liability for the partnership's debts and obligations, and we handle all registrations for the partnership entity. We also help you determine whether GST registration is right for your partnership based on your expected turnover.

For Businesses

For entrepreneurs and established operators forming a company, we manage the complete incorporation process. We help you choose the right company structure (typically Pty Ltd), confirm your company name is available, determine share structure and shareholder details, and lodge Form 201 with ASIC. Once registered, you receive your ACN and certificate of incorporation. We also guide every director through the mandatory director ID application.

Following incorporation, we secure your company's ABN and TFN, register for GST if your projected turnover exceeds $75,000, and establish PAYG withholding if you plan to employ staff. We also register your business name and ensure you understand your ongoing reporting obligations, including annual company statements, BAS lodgments, and company tax returns. For businesses considering trust structures – including family trusts or discretionary trusts – we advise on the setup process, trustee appointments, and trust deed preparation, ensuring the trust is properly registered and compliant with relevant tax laws

Key Benefits

Partnering with us for your business setup delivers real advantages that go far beyond just ticking boxes. Here's what you can expect:

We help you choose the optimal legal structure for your specific situation – balancing asset protection, tax efficiency, and operational simplicity – so you don't have to restructure later at significant cost.

We handle every registration you need – ABN, TFN, GST, PAYG withholding, business name, and ASIC incorporation – saving you hours of navigating different government portals and forms.

We guide you through mandatory director identification number registration and ensure you understand all ongoing compliance obligations, including annual statements and reporting deadlines.

We assess your projected turnover and register you for GST when required – or earlier if voluntary registration benefits your business – so you're never caught off guard by compliance deadlines.

If you plan to employ staff, we register you for PAYG withholding before you make your first employee payment, ensuring you're fully compliant from day one.

With every registration completed correctly and every obligation clearly explained, you can launch your business with confidence, knowing you're fully compliant with ASIC and the ATO.
