Starting July 1st, 2024, non-profit organisations (NFPs) in Australia with an ABN, but not recognised as charitable (such as sporting
clubs or business groups), must annually submit a NFP self-review return to the ATO to confirm their tax exemption status. This
process involves three main sections. Here's a step-by-step on how to manage the process:
1. Organisational Detail:
Provide basic information including the organisation's name, ABN,
address, and contact details. You must also estimate the organisation's gross revenue as 'small', 'medium', or 'large'. 2. Eligibility
Assessment:
2. Answer questions to establish if your organisation qualifies for tax exemption based on its activities and objectives:
3. Summary and Declaration:
Summarise the responses and confirm their accuracy to declare the
organisation’s status, whether 'income tax exempt' or 'taxable.' For those exempt, acknowledge the status and submit the return.
