Tax concession charity or income tax exempt fund

Charities need to be endorsed by us:

  • to be exempt from income tax
  • to access charity tax concessions available under fringe benefits tax and goods and services tax (GST) laws.

Non-charitable funds that want to be income tax exempt funds must also be endorsed by us.

Organisations seeking endorsement as a tax concession charity (TCC) or income tax exempt fund (ITEF) need to use a TCC/ITEF endorsement application pack.

TCC/ITEF endorsement application pack

This pack contains:

  • an application form
  • instructions on how to complete it
  • the publication Income tax guide for non-profit organisations.

The pack will help you to work out whether your organisation is eligible to be endorsed and help you complete the application form correctly. This will reduce the need for us to contact you for more information.

Danger icon

Do not complete the application form until you have read the instructions and the guide to make sure, to the best of your knowledge, that your organisation is entitled to be endorsed and meets all the necessary requirements.

Failure to meet the requirements will result in your endorsement application being refused.
