Important Update on DGR Status

The AAL’s current status as a deductible gift recipient (DGR) expired on 1 July 2025 by virtue of a condition in schedule 5 to the Treasury Laws Amendment (2020 Measures No. 2) Act 2020.

Following the diligent efforts of the Hon Kevin Lindgren AM KC, the Assistant Minister for Productivity, Competition, Charities and Treasury,  the Hon Dr Andrew Leigh MP, has very recently written to advise the AAL that the Government has announced its intention to amend the tax law to renew the specific listing of AAL as a DGR for gifts made after 30 June 2026 and before 1 July 2031.

Renewal of our specific listing as a DGR involves a change in the tax law, specifically an amendment to Division 30 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997. The deductibility of donations to the AAL is subject to the amending legislation being passed by Parliament.

The Government will introduce legislation as soon as practicable to give effect to its decision.
