If you're a non-charitable not-for-profit (NFP) with an active Australian business number (ABN), you now need to lodge an annual NFP self-review return to confirm your eligibility to self-assess as income tax exempt.
The first lodgment is for the 2023–24 income year and we've given you extra time to lodge until 31 March 2025. You don't need to call us to request this additional time.
To lodge your NFP self-review return in Online services for business, you need to have up-to-date registration details. Some of the details you must tell us about include changes to:
- associates or authorised contacts
- your postal, email or business address
- your registered business name
- main business activity.
How to notify us of changes
- If you are an associate or authorised contact and can access your NFP's details through online services, it is the quickest and most convenient way to update registration details.
- If you are unable to update your NFPs registration details online, you need to notify us by downloading the fillable Change of registration details (NAT 2943) paper form.
- If you are a newly appointed associate and do not know who the previous associates are, complete the Change of registration details form and provide evidence of your approved nomination. This includes meeting minutes that reflect your nomination approval, or a notification from your board stating your approved role.
While we try to process applications in 28 days, allow up to 12 weeks for us to confirm that we have updated your details. Make sure you have updated your NFP's email address so you can be notified when we have processed the form.
Go to Notifying us of changes to your not-for-profit for more information on how to notify us of changes.

- If you can't lodge the NFP self-review return online, you can lodge using our Self-help phone service on 13 72 26. You'll need a reference number from any piece of correspondence we have sent your NFP, and your NFP's ABN. Find out more at How to lodge the NFP self-review return.
