Workplace giving vs salary sacrifice donations

Have you made a donation either through workplace giving or salary sacrifice arrangements with your employer? If so, and you want to claim a deduction in your tax return, you’ll need to be careful as the tax treatment differs depending on which method you used to make the donation. For donations made outside the workplace remember for it to be deductible, it must be over $2, made to DGRs and truly be a gift or donation (ie made on a voluntary basis without expectation of receiving something in return).
