Author: Inu(Newbie)Newbie 5 Nov 2021Thank you for reply. on the site What is not a gift for tax purposes? The following examples are not gifts: buying items at a charity auction purchases of raffle tickets and art union tickets buying chocolates, pens and similar low cost items the cost of attending a fundraising dinner or concert, even if the cost exceeds the value of the dinner membership fees making a payment to a school building fund as an alternative to an increase in school fees providing a service – for example, a volunteer can't claim a deduction for their expenses in carrying out the voluntary work or the value of their unpaid work any payments made if you have an understanding with the donor that the payments will be used to provide a benefit to them gifts made under a will gift vouchers donated to a DGR. I'm wondering if " buying chocolates, pens and similar low-cost items" is including clothes or shoes will be including this category. Because I'd like to buy from op shop as I don't like to buy new one considering about emvironment. It won't be expensive each one.
Author: Taxpuppy(Enthusiast)Enthusiast 5 Nov 2021The items you listed cannot be claimed as a deduction if you just purchase them. However, your situation on how I understand it is different as you would purchase the items and then donate it to a deductible gift recipient.
Author: Inu(Newbie)Newbie 6 Nov 2021@Taxpuppy One of the groups which support Mum and kids, they often post on Facebook which size of kid's clothes they need or stationaries. I would like to buy these things for them when they need and want to donate.
Author: Taxpuppy(Enthusiast)Enthusiast 6 Nov 2021@Inu You will need to check if those groups are registered as deductible gift recipient. If yes you can claim a deduction for items you purchase and donate to them. You can check the groups DGR status on ABN lookup. https://abr.business.gov.au/Tools/DgrListing
