Income Tax reporting and charity registration

Support from Landcare Victoria

If you’re looking for help with assessing your environmental organisation’s income tax status and being endorsed as income tax exempt, please visit our website to access the latest information and resources from Landcare Victoria.

You can also join one of our regular Drop-In Information Sessions to get up to speed with the income tax reporting changes. If you want to learn how your organisation can avoid lodging tax returns and dealing with the Tax Office, these mini-webinars are designed to cover the basics and get you on the right path.

If you would benefit from One-on-One Support, you may like to book an appointment for tailored assistance. We can help assess your group/network’s circumstances and provide guidance on things like determining your eligibility for charity registration, checking and updating ABN registration details, reviewing your organisation’s purposes or writing a governing document.

To view the latest updates, secure your place at an Information Session or schedule One-on-One Support, visit the Landcare Victoria website

Income tax reporting changes webinar

Following on from our first successful webinar on income tax and charity registration for environmental volunteering not-for-profits, held in May 2024 with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC), Landcare Victoria presents:

Income tax reporting changes: Impact and options for Victorian environmental organisations 

When: Tuesday 15 October

Time: 5:30pm – 6:30pm

Where: Online via Zoom

 

If you represent a group or network that exists to protect the environment – including landcare, coastcare, ‘friends of’, conservation and sustainability groups – you are invited to join us to go through the recent income tax reporting changes in detail. We’ll cover the impact of the changes and what environmental groups need to do to be endorsed as income tax exempt, provide answers to frequently asked questions, share the latest updates from the Tax Office and try to clear up common misconceptions.

Please note: This webinar will be most useful to individuals who are new to this issue and want to understand it in depth. Those who have already engaged with Landcare Victoria about income tax and charity registration may find the content repetitive.
