The Australian Government's Australian Tax Office (ATO) granted Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) status to us from May 2006. Therefore we are able to offer Tax Deductibility to Australian citizens who donate to our DGR-designated projects (click here for further details). Tax-deductible donations incur a 10% administration fee which is withheld by the over-arching organisation (World Relief Australia Inc.) which provides to TWAC its tax-deductible status. TWAC never withholds donation money for itself and 100% non tax-deductible donations received by TWAC are passed on to its sponsored projects.
