...to check tax status
From 14 December 2021, DGR endorsement requires a fund, authority or institution to be:
- a registered charity
- an Australian government agency, or
- operated by one of the above.
The ATO is in the process of telephoning those entities which are endorsed as a DGR and which are not endorsed as a charity. Some ancillary funds, school building funds, public or school libraries may be caught be this.
If you get such a call from the ATO or wish to discuss the implications of this legislative change on your organisation please contact Lesleigh for assistance.
Refer to Helping Deductable Gift Recipients stay endorsed and DGRs required to be a registered charity for addition information
