School Fees - Tax Deductibility of the Building Fund
Tax deductibility of the Building Fund comes down to the ATO guidelines governing Deductable Gift Recipient Funds.
As the CEO School Building Fund Fees are a compulsory component of our School fees overall, (as opposed to a voluntary contribution of an amount of your choice) therein lies the difference, as far as the ATO is concerned.
Therefore, families cannot claim the Building Fund fees as a Tax Deduction on their Tax.
