On Thursday November 16 2023, the OpenAustralia Foundation received the following letter from the Australian Taxation Office.
In it they said “Based on the information we examined during the review, we have determined that The Foundation is not operating as a public library to be entitled for endorsement as a DGR under items 1 & 4 of the table in section 30-15 of the ITAA 1997.”
We do not agree with their decision.
We are talking to our lawyers about our next steps. We will have more to say soon.
Additionally they sent this one today.
