Refund Lifted On Charitable Donations

The maximum refund limit has been lifted for charitable donations, so now you’ll be able to give more and still receive a refund.

Previously, no matter how much you donated, a $630 refund was the most you could get. This change means that next year when you complete your claim form, you can claim a refund (tax rebate) of one-third of every dollar you donate, up to the amount of your income.

Example

Kath donates $10,000 to charitable organisations. Her taxable income for the 2008-09 year is $40,000. Kath will be able to claim a refund of $3,333 which is one-third of her $10,000 donation.
