Tax Deductibility - Overseas Aid Gift Deduction Scheme

List of developing countries as declared by the Minister for Foreign Affairs
Funds currently approved for tax deductibility by the Treasurer

The Overseas Aid Gift Deduction Scheme (OAGDS) enables donations collected by organisations for their overseas aid activities to be tax deductible. That is, it allows donors to claim their contributions to the organisation as a tax deduction.

There is a two-step process to achieve tax deductibility under the OAGDS. The first step is administered by AusAID and the second step is administered by the Australian Taxation Office and Department of Treasury.
