Is my organisation eligible for charity tax concessions?

Charities must be endorsed by us if they want to access charity tax concessions. Charity tax concessions include income tax exemption, GST concessions and FBT concessions. Charities that are endorsed to access any of these concessions are known as tax concession charities or TCCs.
