Obtaining Charity Status
Charities in Australia are able to access a range of tax concessions that can eliminate an organisation’s obligation to pay tax. In addition, charities can be authorised by State and Territory authorities to undertake public fundraising activities such as bingo, raffes and doorknock appeals. However, although any organisation is able to operate as a Not-For-Profit, that doesn’t automatically make it a charity. There are many rules and regulations that need to be considered when determining the charity status of an organisation.
