07 Jun Epsiode 72 – The giving season
With June 30 fast approaching, it’s that time of the year again where we turn our minds to tax – more specifically, how we can pay less of it! We are bombarded with offers to buy office equipment or new care, re-do our insurances and put money into superannuation.
But the best way to get a tax deduction is to donate money to a tax-deductible organization, and to help us with that is Antonia Ruffell, CEO of Australian Philanthropic Services (APS). We discuss how Antonia found her way into the organisation and why more and more Australians are planning their giving for maximum impact.. She describes the objectives of the APSs, its programs and services, and how clients can avail of them. Antonia also shares strategies you can use to choose the right type of giving structure to meet your objectives
