Dear Australian Taxation Office,

The ABN Bulk Extract published by Australian Business Register, managed by ATO, on data.gov.au contains incomplete data. For example, ANGELE PTY. LTD. (ACN 006 342 472) is missing in the dataset but could be found on ASIC.gov.au. It could not be found on abr.business.gov.au as well.

The link to the ABN Bulk Extract page is https://www.data.gov.au/dataset/ds-dga-5...

Incomplete dataset causes significant problem to us that we could not find our company records in your dataset.

We would be very appreciated if you could include complete company list in the published dataset.

Thank you.

Regards,
Chris

FOI, Australian Taxation Office

Thank you for your email. Only businesses with an Australia Business Number (ABN) are included in the ABN Bulk Extract. Not all companies registered with ASIC are required to have an ABN and therefore, will not appear on the ABN look up, even though they may have an Australian Company Number (ACN). ATO records show the company entity ANGELE PTY. LTD. (ACN 006 342 472) does not currently have an ABN.

Regards,

ATO FOI team
