The Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC) has reminded charities of the 30 June 2014 deadline for lodging their 2013 Annual Information Statement. The ACNC warned it is a legal requirement that all registered charities submit an annual statement. Details of how to lodge the 2013 Annual Information Statement can found at acnc.gov.au/2013AIS or contact the ACNC Advice line on 13 22 62 or email advice@acnc.gov.au.
The Commission also says that organisations that have not made contact with it or lodged their Annual Statement that they are at risk of being removed from the ACNC Register, and thereby lose their tax concessions. It has urged organisations to check if their NFP is included on the list of charities the Commission is seeking to contact.
