Key insights

 

  • Australian Charities and Not-for-Profit Commission Bills issued and effective on Royal Assent.
  • Bills impact existing charities endorsed by the ATO to receive tax concessions, and any new charities that register with the ACNC.
  • Reporting impacts vary for small, medium and large registered charities.
  • Reduced compliance burden for ‘small’ registered charities.
  • Charities that currently report to ASIC are required to continue to report to ASIC for the 2012-2013 financial year.
  • ‘Basic religious charities’ have different reporting requirements and consultation with advisors is recommended to understand those different reporting requirements.
