Application for endorsement as a tax concession charity or income tax exempt fund

Use this form to apply for endorsement as a tax concession charity or income tax exempt fund.

Charities must be registered with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC) before we can endorse them to access charity tax concessions.

If your charity is not registered with the ACNC do not complete this application form. You will need to apply for registration with the ACNC. You can do this on the ACNC website at www.acnc.gov.au

When completing the ACNC registration, you can also apply for endorsement for one or both of the following:

• endorsement to access charity tax concessions
• endorsement as a deductible gift recipient.

The ACNC will forward your endorsement application details to us and we will decide whether your organisation is entitled to endorsement.

Do not complete this form until you have made sure, to the best of your knowledge, that your organisation is entitled to endorsement as a tax concession charity or income tax exempt fund. If your organisation fails to meet all the requirements, your application for endorsement will be refused.

For information on how to complete the application form, refer to Instructions for endorsement as a tax concession charity or income tax exempt fund.
