help please, I have received this message when trying to add business to Gov Connect. "Sorry, that ABN has already been registered. If you have one, please try a different GST branch". Is there a way to unregister ABN?

    Thanks Glenda,
    I've had a look and I can see this ABN was registered to GovConnect last week. Its under an email address different to the one that this Reckon Community account is under. 

    There's two things to check here; the first is if the ABN you've listed above is correct and secondly, if it is correct then to login to the Reckon Portal with the correct email address that was used when it was first registered.
    We've found that usually there has been someone else in the business that has registered the ABN to get a headstart on STP.

    Either way, let me know how you get on.

    Thanks, ABN is correct. I need the original email of ttwlau@yahoo.com.au revoked if possible as I cannot log in with those details

    Hi Vicki,
    I've cleared off the error affecting the registration of your ABN. Head back into GovConnect and add your ABN and it will go through fine.

    Hi Rav,


    I have the exact problem. I have previously registered ABN 49615780227 ( GARY FUNG) under email address dchan@marketaust.com. Now when I try to register the same ABN in Reckon One under the email address achan@marketaust.com. it comes up with the same error message.

    Can you help revoking the ABN registration under the first email address?

    Thanks.

    Hi Gary,
    There are a couple of things I need to go over here.
    I can see that the ABN 49615780227 has been registered already with Branch number 2 and there have been more than a few submissions already sent for it.
    What are the circumstances around this? Do you have a branch number 2 in reality for your ABN? If not, why have submissions been sent for it?

    You should be ok now Joseph. Go ahead & register your ABN in GovConnect again and it should go through this time around.

    Hi Maurice,
    I've cleared the error that was affecting the registration of your ABN however I notice that there is a separate registration of it under branch number 2. 
    Do you have this branch number in reality? If not, then I'd strongly recommend that you do NOT use it for submissions or it will lead to further headaches down the line.

    There haven't been any submissions sent yet so do you want me to delete this registration as well?

    Hi Maurice,
    Can you please double check that ABN. When I search it on the Australian Business Register it shows as invalid.

    Kylie,
    There's no error associated with this ABN like the others in this thread.
    For this ABN, it was already registered into GovConnect back in July 2019. You just need to ensure you're logging in with the same account that was used when it was first created ie. email address & password. 

    There haven't been any submissions sent so I can delete it if you want so you can register it into whichever account you are logged into currently. Let me know.

    I have called and spoken to someone, they said they would fix the problem, I also requested via this support page to remove all logins under that ABN, and NOTHING has been done. This is infuriating!!!

    Hi Bridgette,
    I've had a look at your ABN and there aren't any errors showing for it like some of the others in this post.
    Instead, it shows that its been registered correctly in the GovConnect service roughly 3 weeks ago. The email address for the account its under is the same email address for your STP app account, please ensure you login to the Reckon Portal HERE with the same login credentials and you'll see the STP entity in GovConnect.

    Hi

    I have the same issue as i have already mistakenly registered into the wrong product:

    Sorry, that ABN has already been registered. If you have one, please try a different GST branch.

    Can I please get some help?

    ABN: 71097131229

    Thank you in advance.

    Hi @Alyssa

    Just checking if you still need help with this one?

    I've had a look at your ABN in our system and it shows that it was setup in GovConnect yesterday. Which product were you looking to register the ABN into/under?

    Hi Rav

    Yes, please help. I only need the Payroll for STP under the email: alyssaleong5@gmail.com

    I opened the wrong account and now deactivate it under lintradinginvestm@gmail.com

    Yes, wrongly set up for Govconnect yesterday. Please delete this.

    Thank you for your help.

    Right ok, thanks for confirming @Alyssa. Since there were no submissions sent, I've deleted the ABN registration from the current account its under.

    You can now register the ABN into the new account. Let me know if you have any trouble with it.
