— PARTNERING FOR TAX EFFECTIVE GIVING —

What if your members & donors could give more, at no extra cost to them?

At Mission Advisory, we’re on a mission to grow generosity across Australia. We believe we are blessed to call this country home, and with that blessing comes an opportunity to do good and make a lasting difference.

We believe there are ways to make generosity go further. Through tax-effective giving, your members and donors may be able to give more effectively, helping release greater resources for God’s Kingdom and the causes they care deeply about.

Give Strategically, Amplify Your Impact.

At Mission Advisory, we partner with Christian-led organisations to structure their members & donors giving so that their giving to you is maximised.

Our goal is to see every Christian in Australia giving to their maximum God-given potential.

Where your Church or Christian organisation is not a deductible gift recipient, but is an income tax exempt entity (which most are), your ministry could benefit from this increase in giving.

For someone on the highest tax rate, if their giving is structured tax effectively, their giving can increase by as much as 88% without it costing them anything more. Imagine the impact if more of your members & donors did this!

By your members & donors supporting our business, we can support more kingdom work & also helps us get the word out about tax effective giving across the country.

Partner with us today to help see an increase in giving nationwide.

Churches & Christian Organisations Receive Less Than They Could

Your organisation is passionate about advancing the gospel. Yet, without the right structure in place, much of your donors tithing, giving or charitable investment may fall short of its God-given potential. We want to help change that.

The Government’s proposed 30% tax
on trusts

Recently the Government is seeking to impose a 30% tax on trust income. This would effectively reduce giving through trusts by at least 30%, having an estimated impact of reduced funding of up to $740mil each year to charities and not-for-profits, including churches and mission organisations.

Mission Advisory have been strongly advocating the Government for an exclusion for trust income given to charities and not-for-profits.

Thankfully the Government have listened and in the draft legislation have provided an exclusion so tax-free giving through trusts can continue.

This is not yet law and subject to debate in the Senate Committee. Keep watching this space.

FAQs

  • The ABN lookup tool available here enables you to search the tax status of your church or organisation.

    First search for your church or organisation in the search bar, and then click on the correct result ABN number. Then if you scroll down under “Charity tax concession status” you want to look to see if it has “Income Tax Exemption” status.

    If it is listed there, then your church or mission organisation can receive income distributed to it from eligible trusts tax free & your donors & members can give more where structured effectively.

  • Nothing. We’d like to partner with you so that your members & donors can be made aware of the opportunity to give more.

    We are leading Christian accountants and love to support Christians with their general tax & accounting needs. By your members & donors supporting our business, we can in turn support more Kingdom work.

  • Yes, there are specific provisions in the tax legislation that recognise trusts give to organisations tax free.

    These provisions provide specific requirements, notably that the trust income is actually paid, and is not a “paper entry.”

    We want to support your members’ & donors’ generosity and stewardship by making sure everything is compliant.

  • This works when your donor/ members give to you through a trust which has profits (E.g. investment or business profits).

    We can help your donors/ members set up a trust (E.g. a family trust) if this is a suitable structure for them based on their needs.
