Donation Tax Information – Agape Global Inc

Donating to charities is a meaningful way to give back to the community while also reducing your taxable income. This guide outlines everything you need to know about tax-deductible donations and how to claim them correctly.

What are tax-deductible donations?

Tax-deductible donations are charitable contributions that allow you to claim a portion back at tax time. In Australia, if you donate $2 or more to a registered charity, the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) may classify it as tax-deductible.

Every person deserves a chance to be safe, healthy, and heard. Agape Global is one of Australia’s largest charities, dedicated to protecting and transforming the lives of vulnerable communities in Australia and abroad.

How does tax-deductible donations work?

When you donate to eligible charities or funds, you can claim a deduction when filing your tax return, provided certain conditions are met:

The Charity Must Be a Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR): Ensure the organization is registered as a DGR with the ATO. Charities often provide receipts, but you may need to request one if it’s not automatically issued.
Minimum Donation Amount: Only donations of $2 or more are eligible for a tax deduction.
No Personal Benefit: You can’t claim deductions for donations where you receive a benefit in return, except for token items of minimal value (e.g., pins or stickers).

From emergency relief to long-term solutions, Agape Global is entirely donor-funded, and every contribution makes a difference. We work tirelessly to ensure vulnerable communities are cared for, educated, and protected, while amplifying their voices and advocating for their rights.

How much can I claim?

You can claim the full amount of your donation to a DGR-registered charity, provided it meets the eligibility criteria. There’s no maximum limit to the deductions you can claim in a financial year.

However, if your donations exceed your assessable income for the financial year, the remaining deduction can be carried forward and claimed in future years.

Note: The ATO’s individual income tax rates and rules apply, and your specific tax deductibility depends on your financial situation. For personalized advice, consult a tax professional.
