The Government has released draft legislation that would require non-government deductible gift recipients (DGRs) to register as charities with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC). This requirement already applies to 41 of the 52 general DGR categories and the amendments would extend the requirement to the remaining 11 categories.
The amendment will make charity registration a prerequisite for all entities seeking DGR endorsement under the general DGR categories.
