DGR means an entity is able to provide receipts for donors’ tax deductibility which is often critical to successful fundraising efforts. Applications for DGR status are made to, and approval is granted by, the ATO. However, the application process is complicated by other regulatory bodies such as ASIC, Consumer Affairs or (other Australian state compliance bodies) and ACNC (Australian Charity and Not-for-profit commission). In order to satisfy the ATO, the criteria for all relevant bodies need to be satisfied and the organisation needs to be compliant across all regulatory bodies individually. In addition, there needs to be alignment and consistent information provided registrations of all bodies relevant to the organisation. Matters that need to be highly considered include: members, the constitution, organisations purpose and main activities amongst other complex issues such as correspondence with ATO regarding the application.
Our team of experienced finance professionals will take the stress and anxiety out of your bookkeeping and accounting.
