i think so but am not 100% sure
ABN is generally required for registering for GST
since share trader does not pay (i.e. collect) any GST to the ATO, i can't see how an ABN would be a requirement (however not 100% sure)
however, a share trader can claim 75% of GST paid on brokerage therefore can register for GST
(note: if you do not claim GST credits for brokerage, the GST paid is an income tax deduction. a sharetrader is slightly better off registering for GST because getting 100% back of 75% of GST paid on brokerage is better than claiming 75% of GST as a deduction on marginal tax rates)
