IMPORTANT UPDATE FOR INVISAGE STUDIOS DIGITAL MARKETING CLIENTS

With the recent Australian tax law change in relation to the supply of advertising (eServices), Facebook is now registered for Goods and Services Tax (GST) in Australia. All advertisers with tax country of Australia that have not provided a valid ABN will be charged an additional 10% GST for advertising services after July 1, 2018.

By providing your ABN, you confirm that you are GST registered and advertising on Facebook for business purposes. Ad accounts without a valid ABN on July 1, 2018 will be subject to GST @ 10% on all qualified spend. 

Invisage Studios can not do this for you as our permissions are only 'advertiser' on your Facebook Business accounts. An Administrator must complete this ASAP to avoid being potentially charged an additional 10% on your ad-spend with Facebook.

Below is a step by step guide to adding your ABN to your Facebook Ad Accounts

1. Access your Facebook Business Account Settings https://business.facebook.com/ads/manager/account_settings
or click Account Settings once inside business manager (see screen shot below)

2. Select your add account from the pull down menu at the top of the page - you will need to repeat this process for each and every ad account you have. If you only have a single ad account - ensure the business ad account is selected and NOT your personal account.

3. Select Business Country (Australia)

4. Enter your ABN (Australian Business Number) when prompted or enter it in the field below labeled "TAX ID Number". If you are unsure what your ABN is, you can look it up at https://abr.business.gov.au/

5. Click 'Save' and you should get a notice like the one below.

6. Remember to repeat this process if you have more than 1 ad account with Facebook. Return to step #2 and complete the process for each account. You will NOT receive and email confirmation from Facebook. Simply refresh the page an ensure your ABN is shown in the ABN field. If you have selected the wrong country, it may say "TAX ID Number" instead.
