Workplace giving is a simple and effective way for employees to regularly donate to charities or organisations that are entitled to receive tax deductible donations. To participate in the workplace giving program, the charity or organisation, such as a library or university, must have deductible gift recipient (DGR) status.
Workplace giving is optional. Both the employee and the employer must agree to participate.
As an employer, you must ensure the participating charities or organisations have ongoing deductible gift recipient (DGR) status. If you know the charity's Australian business number (ABN), you can easily check their DGR status by:
visiting the Australian Business Register website at www.abr.gov.au
phoning 1300 130 248.
For the purposes of this publication, any charity or organisation that has a DGR status will be referred to as a 'charity'.
