UNOH has the capacity to provide tax-deductibility for most donations – either under our own name for work in Australia, or through Global Mission Partners for work in developing countries. We are happy to provide tax-deductibility wherever we can. However, where donations are made without the requirement for tax-deductibility, UNOH has more flexibility in the use these donations. For example, we cannot use donations that have been given tax-deductibility, for activities that might be interpreted as “evangelism”, and overseas, not all work in poverty relief is considered eligible for tax-deductibility, especially where we might be assisting individuals rather than doing community development.

If you do not normally claim such donations as tax deductions when you do your income tax return, or if you do not earn enough the have to pay tax, then nominating NO for tax-deductibility is a good choice for UNOH and no cost to you.
Moreover, you might simply choose to forego tax-deductibility in order to provide greater flexibility for UNOH in spending your donation.
