The Commissioner has announced that he will not seek special leave to appeal to the High Court against the Full Federal Court decision in FCT v Hunger Project Australia [2014] FCAFC 69. The Full Federal Court decision, which now stands, dismissed the Commissioner’s appeal and held that Hunger Project Australia (HPA) is a public benevolent institution (PBI) for FBT purposes even though it was predominately engaged in fund raising.
