ABN for family trust with corporate trustee

Hi all
I have set up a family trust with a corporate trustee and have applied for an ABN.

ato has sent back an Australian business register with an ABN but it is addressed to " the trustee for ABC trust" and the Business name: " the trustee for ABC trust"

Is this correct? There is no mention of the corporate trustee.

Have I registered it incorrectly?

Should the business name be " XYZ pty ltd ATF for ABC trust" or should it be generic like " the trustee for ABC trust" ?

Thanks
 
Exactly rpi. I think that is why the ato do it that way otherwise every time you changed trustee you would need a new abn and tfn. Imagine what a nightmare that would be.

Thats correct. no issue there, however, the ABR site has been through some change of late so expect some delays in receiving the ABN in the mail. There is a improvement in that now you apply for ABN and TFN together rather than separately (For SMSF at least) which saves us 10-15 mins....
