What is the income tax exempt charity tool?
This tool will help you work out whether your organisation is still entitled to endorsement as an income tax exempt charity. It is an interactive version of the worksheet available in our publication Income tax guide for non-profit organisations
Who should use this tool?
All charities that are endorsed by the Tax Office as income tax exempt charities should use this tool.
We recommend that income tax exempt charities review their status annually and whenever there is a major change in their structure or operations. Income tax exempt charities must tell the Tax Office if they stop being entitled to endorsement.
Things that can affect entitlement are changes to an organisation's purpose and operations, physical presence in Australia, loss of endorsement as a deductible gift recipient (DGR) and where the organisation incurs its expenditure.
What you will need
- The Tax Office notice that states your organisation is endorsed to access income tax exemption.
- Your organisation's governing or constituent documents, and information about its activities and finances. Examples include trust deeds, memoranda and articles of association, constitutions, rules or charters.

Disclaimer
- This tool gives an outcome based on the information you provide.
- The information you provide should reflect your organisation's current circumstances. If these circumstances change in the future, you should contact the Tax Office.
