At tax time, your accountant will ask you if you’ve donated anything to a charity. Why? Because it could be claimed as a tax deduction. But not all donations are deductible. The Bongiorno Group’s Tax Manager Chantelle Turner and Director Nick Fennessy explain that to claim a deduction, the charity must be a Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR). You can verify DGR status via the ABR website using the charity’s name or ABN.
