Q: Hi There,
I am taking on a "hobby" job as a mystery shopper, an have been asked to fill out a "Statement by a Supplier" form as i dont have an ABN, can someone please advise which box i need to tick in the reasons for not supplying an ABN? I currently also work full time. Thanks in advance.
A: Thank You Suresh!

This is what is says in the info pack:

As an independent contractor, you are required to make your own arrangements in relation to requirements as set down by the Australian Taxation Office. As a Mystery Shopper you are required to supply PR with an Australian Business Number (ABN).

As you are an independent contractor and not an employee, an annual Statement of Earnings or Group Certificate will not be provided at the end of the financial year. It is your responsibility to keep records of all work you carry out on behalf of ****. This includes all fees and reimbursements made to you.

You are responsible for all income and taxes due to the Australian government from any payment received from ****.

***** recommends that you consult your tax professional or financial adviser for information regarding your individual tax requirements as we are unable to advise you of your taxation reporting requirements.
