Case Study - NFP - Churches and Tax

Situation:

Churches receive substantial gifts and offerings from their supporters but they cannot offer tax deductible receipts. They are often unaware of other tax concessions available to them such as exempt fringe benefits, GST concessions, and rate exemptions.

Response:

Moores Legal conducted a workshop with church leaders explaining the ability of the Church to gain exemptions or concessions for ten different taxes.

Outcome:

As a result of the workshop, the church was able to provide tax exemption salary packaging to its staff, tax deductibility to its donors and exemptions from a number of other rates and taxes. This allowed the church budget to go further.

As the relationship continued Mores Legal also assisted with policies of employment, working with children and discipline and grievance procedures.
