Business address: You will need to provide details of the principal place of business in Australia of the business name holder. This should be the primary location where you intend to carry on a business under the business name. This address must be a physical or street address in Australia. A post office box is not acceptable. You must ensure that this address is kept current. If your principal place of business is the same as your residential address, this address will not show on the public register. However, the suburb, postcode and state or territory will show up.

What is your address for service of documents? Your business’s address for service of documents is the address that the ATO can send official paperwork and legal notices to. Any mail sent to this address will be assumed to have been delivered.
