I've been looking through my donation receipts for FY23 and found one (just one of many) that has separate lines for a $20 donation and a $1.40 "contribution to processing costs". In this case, I'm assuming I should not include the $1.40 in D9 Gifts or Donations.


Generally we don't "tick that box" as it complicates the end-of-year calculations, but I found a couple where it appears we did, e.g. a Foodbank receipt shows a donation amount of $99.82 and one from Legacy is $11.40. I expect some of each could be as a result of agreeing to cover costs. But there's no way to tell how much. And, of course, if that amount were to be one or more whole dollars, there would be no way to separate the contribution from the donation!


Accordingly, unless a "contribution amount" is itemised, may I simply claim the full amount declared on the receipt?

If it was claimable, the charity would not need to show it separately.


It looks like money that is not going to the charitable purpose.
