If your not-for-profit (NFP) organisation receives payments covered by the Government Payments Program (GPP) to provide services such as healthcare, disability support or childcare under a Commonwealth program, you need to:
- keep accurate records
- report all GPP income you receive on the correct label of your income tax return
- lodge and pay your tax in full and on time to avoid penalties, interest charges and firmer actions.
Part of a broad approach
Our commitment to strengthening payments integrity in government programs is reinforced through our work in the GPP and collaborating with participating agencies.
We are a member agency of the Fraud Fusion Taskforce which is a multi-agency initiative to combat fraud against government payment programs such as the National Disability Insurance Scheme.
Support
If you're worried you won't be able to lodge and pay by the due dates, contact your registered tax professional or read about our Tax support for individuals, businesses, not-for-profits and tax professionals before the due date to find out what options are available to you.
