Update of reforms and compliance being introduced for all NFP organisations

From 1 July 2024, not-for-profits (other than charities) and not-for-profits with an active Australian Business Number (ABN) will be required to lodge an annual self-reviews to access an income tax redemption. If a return is not lodged, not-for-profits may become ineligible for an income tax exemption, and penalties may apply. 

This session will also discuss the latest reforms within the ACNC, including third-party transactions which include: 

• What are your tax obligations for 2024? Find out if you will lose your tax-exempt status
• Do we need to lodge a self - assessment from 2024? What steps do we need to take? 
• A registered charity? What is the reporting requirements for third party transactions? 
• How do we maintain our DGR status?
• How easy it for my association to become a registered charity?  What are the benefits?
