The ATO allows people to claim a tax deduction for any donations given to a deductible gift recipient (DGR)!

For more information about DGR's click here 

You are allowed to claim a tax deduction for a gift as long as it meets the following conditions:

  • The gift must be to a DGR

  • The gift must be money or property

  • The gift must be a gift, which basically means you receive nothing in return

What can't you claim?

  • Any gift/donation where you receive something in return, such as chocolates, pens and raffle tickets

  • Payments to school building funds

  • Cost of attending a fundraiser
