A new tax guide for NFPs
Wed, 24 August 2011
The Australian Tax Office has released a new version of their guide Tax Basics for Non-Profit Organisations.
The guide provides an overview of tax obligations and concessions for not-for-profit (NFP) organisations and helps to identify which taxes affect organisations, including income tax, fringe benefits tax (FBT), goods and services tax (GST) and pay as you go (PAYG).
Changes to the guide include:
- A new diagram showing the relationship between the types of NFP organisations
- Additional information on salary sacrifice and gifts made to deductible gift recipients (DGRs)
- Information on record keeping requirements for DGRs
- Additional information on reporting and paying tax, including lodging annual income tax returns
- Updates to tax policy.
You can order a printed copy of the guide by calling 1300 720 092 and quoting ‘NAT 7966’.
