The CHS P&C Building Fund is approved by the ATO for tax deductibility of donations credited to the fund. The associated Deductible Gift Recipient status (DGR) dates from 1 July 2002. If you have made the contribution to the Chatswood High School Parents and Citizens' Association Building Fund you are able to claim the payment as a charitable donation deduction in your personal income tax return. For more information about charitable donations see the ATO's web site FAQ. "Where donors are not issued with receipts, other statements and records can be used to help in the preparation of their tax return."
