How to Prepare a NFP Self-Review Return

Starting July 1st, 2024, non-profit organisations (NFPs) in Australia with an ABN, but not recognised as charitable (such as sporting clubs or business groups), must annually submit a NFP self-review return to the ATO to confirm their tax exemption status. This process involves three main sections. Here's a step-by-step on how to manage the process:

1. Organisational Detail:

Provide basic information including the organisation's name, ABN, address, and contact details. You must also estimate the organisation's gross revenue as 'small', 'medium', or 'large'. 2. Eligibility Assessment:

2. Answer questions to establish if your organisation qualifies for tax exemption based on its activities and objectives:

  • Annual Gross Revenue: Estimate your organisation’s revenue range.
  • Main Purpose Category: Choose the category that best describes your organisation, such as community service, sport club,  cultural, educational, or scientific.
  • Governing Clauses: Confirm if your organisation has clauses preventing income or asset distribution to members.
  • Operational Scope: Indicate whether the organisation operates and spends exclusively within Australia.
  • Charitable Purposes: State if your organisation has any charitable purposes.

3. Summary and Declaration:
Summarise the responses and confirm their accuracy to declare the organisation’s status, whether 'income tax exempt' or 'taxable.' For those exempt, acknowledge the status and submit the return.
