LINA’s response to the Productivity Commission’s philanthropy inquiry draft report.

The Productivity Commission published its draft Philanthropy Inquiry report in November 2023, which includes recommendations to include public interest journalism in eligibility for deductible gift recipient status. LINA has responded supporting the expansion of DGR scope to public interest journalism, noting minimal tax implications and positive public benefit from establishing a DGR category for public interest journalism and the opportunity for the government to grow giving while enabling a non-profit news sector in Australia.
