You need to keep your registered business details up to date with the ATO and ABR, such as your:

If you’ve made changes to your business you’ll need to change your Australian business number (ABN) details on the ABR.

You’ll need to notify ASIC if you’ve changed your company details, such as your:

• company addresses
• officeholders
• share details
• members

You may also need to advise your state or territory government of changes to your business details.
