Lodging an income tax return as a taxable organisation
Some NFP organisations are taxable. To identify if you need to lodge a tax return or if you can notify us of a non-lodgment advice, you must first identify if your organisation is a:
- NFP company
- other taxable company
- taxable trust or partnership
Find out what you need to lodge based on your NFPs structure and how it operates, at Taxable NFP organisations.
If you need additional guidance to complete a company tax return, see our NFP guide to the Company tax return 2024.
Self-assessing eligibility to income tax exemption
From 1 July 2023, non-charitable not-for-profits (NFP) with an active Australian business number (ABN) need to lodge an annual NFP self-review return to notify their eligibility to self-assess an income tax exemption.
The NFP self-review return must be lodged for the 2023–24 income year. Following this, a new return must be lodged for each subsequent income year. Follow the NFP self-review return guide to prepare your answer before lodging the return.
After completing the NFP self-review return, if you find out that your organisation is taxable, Transitional support is available if you need more time to meet lodgment obligations.
