Export the contacts
Use a Xero contacts file, an MYOB or QuickBooks export, or any spreadsheet with a supplier name and an ABN.
For Australian bookkeepers and accounts teams
See which suppliers are on the register.
Upload a contact list from Xero, MYOB, QuickBooks or a spreadsheet. ClearABN checks every ABN, reads the Australian Business Register, and hands back GST status, entity names and a file Xero can import.

Illustrative rows. A real check uses your file and, once ABR_GUID is set, the live register.
Register facts only. Status, names, dates, entity type, state and postcode.
Not tax advice. ATO pages are linked from each flagged row.
No Xero connection in this version. You upload a file and download one Xero can import.
How a check works
02
Confirm the columns
ClearABN detects the ABN and name columns. You can change the mapping before the check runs.
03
Read the register, then download
Each row gets a checksum, ABR status, GST dates and a name-match score. Take a CSV, a PDF, or a Xero import file.
What gets flagged
Missing ABN
The row has no number to check.
Invalid ABN
The digits fail the ABN checksum, or they look like a 9-digit ACN.
Cancelled
The ABR lists the ABN as cancelled, with the effective date.
No current GST
The ABR does not show current GST registration.
Name mismatch
The name you supplied does not closely match the entity or a business name.
Not on the register
The checksum passed, and the ABR returned no record.

Questions bookkeepers ask
- Is this tax advice?
- No. You see register facts and checksum results, with links to ATO pages. You decide what to do with them.
- Do you connect to Xero?
- Not in this version. Export contacts, upload the file here, and download a corrected contacts file with TaxNumber set to the normalised ABN when the checksum passes.
- Where do the facts come from?
- The Australian Business Register web services, after an ABN checksum. Results are cached for about 24 hours. Until an ABR GUID is configured, the app uses a fixture register so you can try the whole flow.
- What about sole traders?
- The register can show a person’s name. Supplier lists are stored encrypted, and you can delete an account and its lists from the account page.
ClearABN shows Australian Business Register facts and the result of an ABN checksum. It does not provide tax, legal or financial advice. Links go to the ATO and the Australian Business Register so you can read their pages yourself.
