Cutting red tape around donations: A new model for deductible gifts

该项目旨在简化免税礼物接受者的分类，使赠送和接受礼物变得容易，因此礼物只提供给那些符合公共政策的组织。捐款每年花费约13亿美元。因此，重要的是，捐赠是一种简化的程序，鼓励社会多元化，同时确保善用公共资金。研究表明，目前确定捐赠抵扣地位的方法很复杂，与政府政策、公共话语和社区需求脱节。建议的架构将会简单，顾及公共政策，并能适应社会不断转变的需要和价值观。

This project intends to simplify the categorisation of recipients of tax deductible gifts so that it is easy to give and receive gifts and so gifts go only to those organisations that are in keeping with public policy. Donations cost approximately $1.3 billion annually. It is therefore important that donation is a streamlined process that encourages social pluralism while ensuring there is a good use of public money. Research indicates that the current approach to determining donation deductibility status is complex and out of step with government policy, public discourse and community needs. The proposed framework will be simple, take into account public policy and be adaptable to the community’s changing needs and values.
