End of Financial Year - Tax deductibility

In response to enquiries regarding tax deductibility of the Building Levy please see advice from Sydney Catholic Schools Finance Team below:

Unfortunately Australian tax guidance would suggest that the building levy paid per our school fees is not tax deductible. Building levy is only tax deductible if it is paid voluntarily to a Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) for no material benefit or return. Here is a a link to the Australian Tax Office for further guidance (https://www.ato.gov.au/individuals/income-deductions-offsets-and-records/deductions-you-can-claim/gifts-and-donations/).

AGDoE Schools Census

The Australian Government Department of Education (the department) would like to advise all staff, parents and guardians that it will collect certain information about your school, its staff and student body as part of the 2023 Non-Government School Census collection (the Census).  

The information provided during the Census is collected by the department in accordance with the Australian Education Act 2013 (the Act) and the Australian Education Regulation 2013 (the Regulation). The Act and the Regulation require the legal entity responsible for the administration of the school (the approved authority) to provide this information to the department to:

• Ensure the provision of Australian Government funding to schools is properly calculated and appropriately managed.

• Conduct research, statistical analysis and develop school education policy for the Australian government.

• Meet national and international reporting obligations on school students in Australia.

• Publish and provide information about schools to the public.
