Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) Status Update20/06/2011 The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) has notified the RFS of legislative changes that affect the ability for volunteer brigades to collect tax deductible donations.
This will affect volunteer brigades which currently hold Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) status, those who have applied for DGR status and those that intend to apply in the future.
The ATO is currently holding regular discussions with the NSW RFS and representatives from other volunteer fire services across Australia to help put together a solution which meets the legislative requirements, without being an unnecessary burden on brigades.
While this solution is developed with the ATO, it’s expected that brigades with DGR status will be able to continue to hold that status until the end of 2011 to help with the transition to the new DGR categories.
The ATO will be providing further information in the near future about the options for affected brigades and the requirements for being endorsed as a DGR.
This article will be updated as new information is provided.
