Treasury has released for comment an Exposure Draft of A New Tax System (Australian Business Number) Amendment Regulation 2013 (No. A).

The proposed regulations would ensure that unregistered business names that were on the Australian Business Register (ABR) before 28 May 2013 (when the transition period ends) can continue to be publicly disclosed by the Registrar of the ABR until 30 June 2014 giving them additional time to register on the Business Names Register.
