-
What is ACNC reporting?ACNC (Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission) reporting refers to the annual reporting obligations that registered charities and NFPs must meet to maintain their registration and compliance.
-
Who needs to submit an ACNC report?All registered charities in Australia must submit an Annual Information Statement (AIS). Some may also be required to submit financial reports depending on their size.
-
When is the ACNC reporting deadline?The Annual Information Statement is due within six months after the end of the charity’s financial year.
-
How can we ensure compliance with ACNC requirements?Working with experts can help ensure timely and accurate reporting, avoiding compliance risks and penalties.
-
How do I start a non-profit organisation in Australia?To start a non-profit, you need to define your purpose, choose a legal structure (e.g., incorporated association, company limited by guarantee, or trust), register with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC) if applicable, and apply for an Australian Business Number (ABN).
-
What is the difference between a non-profit and a charity?A non-profit is any organisation that reinvests its profits into its mission rather than distributing them to members. A charity is a type of non-profit that has a charitable purpose and is registered with the ACNC to access tax benefits.
-
What happens if an organization does not comply?Failure to submit ACNC reports can result in penalties, loss of registration, and loss of tax concessions.
-
What is Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) status, and how can my organisation apply?DGR status allows donors to claim tax deductions for donations. To apply, your organisation must meet specific criteria set by the ATO and ACNC and be listed on a DGR register.
-
What reporting obligations do we have to the ACNC?Registered charities must submit an Annual Information Statement (AIS) and, depending on their size, may need to provide financial reports. Other non-profits may have reporting requirements under state laws.
-
Do I need to register with the ACNC?If you want your organisation to be recognised as a charity and access tax concessions, you must register with the ACNC. However, not all non-profits need to be registered charities.
