Supporting charitable giving

LINA’s submission to consultation on a minimum tax on discretionary trusts.

LINA’s submission expresses concern that a minimum tax on discretionary trusts will impact charitable giving.

To mitigate this, the government should provide for distributions to DGR-endorsed charities to be tax deductible, which must be coupled with reform of the DGR system.

These reforms will help facilitate the growth of a not-for-profit news sector in Australia, supporting community access to public interest journalism and the government’s objectives to increase philanthropic giving.
