Tax deductible donations are contributions made to organisations registered as Deductible Gift Recipients (DGR) in Australia. These donations allow you to claim a deduction on your taxable income when you lodge your tax return. By supporting Parramatta Mission, you not only make a difference in the lives of those in need but also unlock significant charity tax benefits for yourself.
A Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) is an organisation or fund approved by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) to receive tax deductible donations. When you donate to a registered DGR organisation, you can claim the donation as a tax deduction in your annual tax return, provided it meets the eligibility criteria set by the ATO.
Parramatta Mission is proud to be a registered DGR organisation. This means that every eligible donation you make to Parramatta Mission is tax deductible, allowing you to contribute to life- changing initiatives while reducing your taxable income.
Understanding when a gift or donation qualifies for a charity tax deduction can help you maximise the benefits of your generosity. In Australia, certain conditions must be met for your contribution to be deductible:
Donating to a DGR Organisation: The gift or donation must be made to an organisation or fund that is registered as a Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR). Parramatta Mission is proud to be a DGR-registered organisation, making your donations eligible for a charitable gifts tax deduction.
Genuine Gift: The donation must be given voluntarily, without receiving any material benefit in return (except for token acknowledgements like a badge or sticker).
Eligible Contributions: Donations can be monetary (e.g., cash, credit card, or bank transfer) or certain types of property, such as shares or items over a certain value, as specified by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).
Minimum Donation Amount: Only donations of $2 or more qualify for a charity tax deduction.
Proof of Donation: A receipt from the DGR organisation is essential to claim your charitable gifts tax deduction. Parramatta Mission provides receipts for all donations, ensuring you have the necessary records for your tax return.
To claim a tax deduction for your charitable donations, it’s essential to maintain accurate records. The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) requires donors to keep specific documentation to ensure their deductions are valid.
Here’s what you need:
receipts for donations or contributions
a signed letter from the eligible organisation confirming the amount of your donation or
contribution.
If a DGR issues a receipt for a deductible gift, the receipt must state:
the name of the fund, authority or institution to which the donation has been made
the DGR’s Australian business number (ABN) (some DGRs listed by name in the law may not have an ABN)
that it is for a gift.
At Parramatta Mission, we make it easy for you to meet these requirements by providing compliant donation receipts for all eligible contributions. Keeping these records safe and organised ensures a smooth process when claiming your charity tax deduction during tax time.

Are donations 100% tax deductible?
Donations to Parramatta Mission are eligible for tax deductible donations as long as they meet the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) requirements. While your donation may be fully deductible, it’s important to ensure the donation is made to a registered Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR), like Parramatta Mission, and that you keep proper documentation, such as receipts, for tax purposes.
How much can you claim for donations without receipts in ATO?
The ATO generally requires receipts for all donations to claim a charitable gifts tax deduction. However, if the total value of your donations is under $10, you may be able to claim up to $10 per donation without a receipt, provided you can demonstrate proof of the donation (e.g., bank
statements or credit card records). It’s always best to keep receipts for all contributions to ensure a smooth claiming process.
What are the maximum deductions you can claim without receipts?
The ATO permits claims without receipts for donations of up to $10 per item. If your donation exceeds this amount, you’ll need to provide a receipt or other valid documentation to claim your charitable deductions. To make the most of your tax benefits, it’s recommended to keep records of all donations above this threshold.
