Tax Accountant

 

Volunteers and Honoraria 


What is the proposed change?

  • Provide not-for-profits with the option to treat honoraria as salaries or wages, rather than schedular payments for tax purposes.

  • Proposal would apply from 1 April 2028


Why is this change needed?

  • Honoraria treated as schedular payments can be confusing for volunteers and creates needless compliance costs.
