This fact sheet helps charities check that they are correctly accessing tax concessions and meeting their tax obligations. It is based on some of the common concerns being found in our risk analysis and assessments.

For example, in our Compliance Program 2011-12, we advised that some religious organisations encounter difficulties with compliance. This fact sheet forms part of our work with the broader religious community to help them meet their tax obligations.
