Which classification should you search?
Choose the system named by the form or workflow. Similar-looking codes from different systems are not interchangeable.
Tax return or schedule
Search ATO Business Industry Codes when the form asks for the five-digit code describing the main income-producing activity.
Business or industry classification
Search ANZSIC when you need the four-digit industry class, hierarchy, primary activities and exclusions.
Occupation classification
Use OSCA for current Australian occupation classification. Use ANZSCO only when the relevant program or document explicitly requires it.
Export commodity coding
Search AHECC for the eight-digit Australian export statistical item attached to goods declarations.
Language coding
Search ASCL for the official Australian language family, narrow group or final language record.
Cultural and ethnic group coding
Search ASCCEG when an ABS or administrative collection requires a standard cultural or ethnic group code.
