Non-charitable NFP organisations with an active Australian business number (ABN) need to lodge an annual NFP self-review return to confirm their eligibility to self-assess as income tax exempt.
NFP self-review returns are usually due by 31 October each year, however we're providing more time to lodge for the 2023–24 financial year, until 31 March 2025.
This return includes 3 sections and takes approximately 10 minutes to complete. You can lodge the return yourself through:
- Online services for business
- by phoning our automated self-help phone service on 13 72 26.
Your registered tax agent can also lodge on your NFP's behalf.
For a smooth lodgment experience, we recommend using our NFP self-review return question guide to prepare your responses before you lodge.
If you find out that your organisation is taxable for the 2023–24 income year when you complete the return, we can provide transitional support to help you meet your income tax return lodgment obligations. This includes:
- providing a concessional due date to lodge your income tax return
- payment plans
- remission of any applicable general interest charge and penalties.
