Read on.<\/p>\n<h2>Exempt or taxable? Start with your status<\/h2>\n<p>At the highest level, an NFP can be either taxable or exempt from income tax. How you frame your purpose and structure determines your tax-exempt status.<\/p>\n<p>Here are three that will most likely apply:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Registered charity:<\/strong> If your organisation has only charitable purposes for public benefit, you can register as a charity with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC). Once registered, you can get an ATO endorsement for charity tax concessions (e.g. income tax exemption, GST <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reckon.com\/au\/small-business-resources\/end-of-financial-year\/tax-deduction-for-small-business\/\">concessions<\/a>, FBT benefits). A registered charity endorsed by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) is income tax-exempt for tax purposes and doesn\u2019t usually need to lodge income tax returns unless the ATO specifically requests it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Non-charitable NFP:<\/strong> If you\u2019re not a charity (think community service organisations, sporting clubs, scientific organisations, social clubs, etc.), you might self-assess as income tax-exempt \u2013 but only if your organisation fits one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ato.gov.au\/businesses-and-organisations\/not-for-profit-organisations\/your-organisation\/does-your-not-for-profit-need-to-pay-income-tax\/types-of-income-tax-exempt-organisations\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ATO\u2019s exempt categorie<\/a>s and you meet all the substantive requirements in your governing rules. Non-charitable NFPs with an active Australian Business Number have to lodge an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reckon.com\/au\/small-business-resources\/not-for-profit\/nfp-self-review-guide\/\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"95\">NFP self-review<\/a> return each year to confirm if they can continue to be assessed as income tax-exempt.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Taxable NFP:<\/strong> If your NFP doesn\u2019t qualify as a charity and doesn\u2019t meet the self-assessment criteria, the status is simple: you\u2019re taxable. You\u2019ll need to lodge an annual income tax return and will probably need to pay income tax on any taxable income.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In all cases, your organisation\u2019s legal structure determines who you register with and your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reckon.com\/au\/small-business-resources\/tax\/company-tax-rate\/\">tax reporting requirements<\/a>. However, all three scenarios have one thing in common: your NFP&#8217;s profits must be used for a purpose, not private benefit.<\/p>\n<h2>What to expect with charity registration and ATO endorsements<\/h2>\n<p>If you plan to register as a charity:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Get your ABN with the correct entity type.<\/li>\n<li>Apply to the ACNC as a charity with charitable purposes only. Your constitution should make clear that all income and assets are applied to your purpose and not distributed to members.<\/li>\n<li>When you apply, you can opt in for the ATO to assess charity tax concessions and, if eligible, a deductible gift recipient (DGR) endorsement. DGR lets donors claim tax deductions \u2013 which is absolute gold for fundraising.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Once endorsed, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reckon.com\/au\/accounting-software\/industries\/non-profit\/\">most charities<\/a> are exempt from income tax and won\u2019t need to pay or lodge an income tax return. You will, however, have to report annually to the ACNC and keep the ATO updated if your organisation\u2019s structure or activities change.<\/p>\n<h2>Self-assessing income tax exemption (non-charitable NFPs)<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re not a charity, you can self-assess your exemption from income tax if your organisation fits one of the ATO\u2019s eligible categories (e.g. community service groups, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reckon.com\/au\/accounting-software\/industries\/sports-club\/\">sports clubs<\/a>, scientific organisations, cultural, educational, employment, or resource development bodies).<\/p>\n<p>To stay income tax exempt:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Make sure your constitution and practice apply assets solely to your stated purpose.<\/li>\n<li>Double-check you meet all the substantive requirements in your governing rules and pass the relevant control\/physical presence tests.<\/li>\n<li>Lodge the annual NFP self-review return for each income year. The return records how your organisation meets the self-assessment criteria. If the ATO later checks in on your status, having those records will keep you safe from any potential compliance action.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If your self-review reveals that you\u2019re actually non-charitable and therefore not eligible for exemption, you\u2019re taxable and need to lodge an income tax return.<\/p>\n<h2>What if you\u2019re taxable?<\/h2>\n<p>A taxable NFP lodges an income tax return every year and calculates its income tax payable like a company. (Some NFP companies have special thresholds and rates, so check the latest ATO advice).<\/p>\n<p>If your taxable income is very low, you might be able to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ato.gov.au\/individuals-and-families\/your-tax-return\/how-to-lodge-your-tax-return\/lodge-a-non-lodgment-advice\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">lodge a return not necessary notice<\/a>. Otherwise, you have to lodge an annual company return and pay the assessed income tax.<\/p>\n<p>Also, pay attention to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ato.gov.au\/businesses-and-organisations\/not-for-profit-organisations\/your-organisation\/in-detail\/income-tax\/mutuality-and-taxable-income-for-not-for-profits\/taxable-income-and-mutuality\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mutuality principle<\/a>: receipts from members for mutual activities may be non-assessable, and related expenses may be non-deductible. If you run bar sales, canteen, ticketed events, or sponsorships, get advice from your accountant so you don\u2019t over- or understate your taxable income.<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>Other tax concessions to know<\/h2>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.reckon.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/NFP-other-tax-concessions.png&#8221; alt=&#8221;Other tax concessions for NFPS, fbt GST DGR status &#038; refund of franking credits&#8221; title_text=&#8221;NFP Other Tax Concessions&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;-50px||||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;body&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; header_2_font_size=&#8221;32px&#8221; header_2_font_size_tablet=&#8221;30px&#8221; header_2_font_size_phone=&#8221;26px&#8221; header_2_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Even beyond income tax exemption, there are tax concessions that can help a not-for-profit organisation:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Fringe benefits tax (FBT):<\/strong> Some charities can enjoy FBT rebates or exemptions \u2013 particularly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acnc.gov.au\/tools\/factsheets\/public-benevolent-institutions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">public benevolent institutions<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>GST concessions:<\/strong> Charities and some other NFPs can get <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reckon.com\/au\/small-business-resources\/gst\/what-is-gst\/\">GST concessions<\/a>, obtain GST-free supplies in specific cases, and benefit from special rules for fundraising and non-commercial activities.<\/li>\n<li><strong>DGR status:<\/strong> Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) endorsement is great for boosting donations.
