Date: 4 May | Time: 12:30-2pm AEST

The requirement comes into effect from 1 July 2023 and the ATO and will require not-for-profits with an active ABN who self-assess as income tax exempt to submit a self-review return each year. The first return will need to be lodged for the 2023–24 income year from 1 July 2024. It will be an online annual self-review forms with the information ordinarily used to self-assess eligibility for the exemption.
