No. Even when you claim a tax deduction, Oxfam Australia receives the full amount of your donation.  

There are certain conditions that must be met for a donation or gift to be tax deductible. These are set out on the website of the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).  

For example, the donation or gift must be made to an Australian Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR). Not all charities are DGRs. Oxfam Australia is a DGR. 

The donation or gift must truly be a donation or gift (a voluntary transfer where you receive no material benefit or advantage), be money or property (this can include financial assets such as shares), and comply with any other conditions that are applicable (for example, when giving gifts of property). 

The donation or gift must be for $2 or more and you must retain a record (for example, a receipt). See here for more information. 

Yes. Our supporter service team at Oxfam Australia are also always happy to send tax receipts via email or mail when you make a tax deductible gift. You should retain a copy of your receipt. 

You can use our tax deductions calculator to get an idea of the potential tax savings from a donation of $2 or more to an Australian Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) such as Oxfam Australia.
