Joint Submission - ACNC Bills and 'In Australia' August 2012

Attached is CCA's joint submission to the the Senate Standing Committee on Community Affairs and the Parliamentary Joint Committee (PJC) on Corporations and Financial Services on the ACNC Bills 2012 and the Tax Laws Amendment (Special Conditions for not-for-profit concessions) Bill 2012. CCA will appear at the hearings for both Committee's Inquiries.

Please note that the submission is brief, and outlines the CCA response to all three Bills. As it is the third submission by CCA in relation to the establishment of the ACNC and also the third in relation to the 'In Australia' special tax conditions bill; and because CCA has been involved in numerous consultations, forums and previous hearings, this submission only briefly addresses the most recent changes in each Bill and explanatory materials.

As with all CCA submissions, this one has been prepared through a process of consultation with CCA's members and other key organisations in the not-for-profit sector. CCA's submission does not over-ride any positions outlined in individual submissions from CCA members.
