We can’t release statements to anyone except the World Vision account holder due to privacy reasons.  

We can’t change the name on your tax statement after it has been issued. Your tax statement is issued in the name of the My World Vision account holder, which is you. If you would like your tax statement to be issued in a different name next year, call us on 13 32 40 and we can arrange that for you.  

If you are being asked to log in when you scan the QR code, you need to create a My World Vision account. It will only take a minute. Alternatively, call us on 13 32 40 to set one up.  

This statement is proof of all the donations you made to World Vision this year. You can use it to fill out the ‘Gifts and Donations’ section of your tax return whether you do it on your own or via your tax agent. For more details, visit the ATO website

Annual tax statements are now available in your My World Vision account or app. 

You'll receive an email with a link to your digital tax statement on 17 July. If you’ve opted to receive a printed tax statement or we don’t have your valid email address, your statement will be in the mail from 22 July. 

We know it’s important to get your Annual Tax Statement as quickly as possible. However, it’s important that we get it right. We need to allow a few days for our team to process donations that are made in the last few days of June. Once they’ve been processed, we also need to check that the right information is going to the right person.  

If you still haven’t received your Annual Tax Statement by mid-August, please call us on 13 32 40.

Going paperless enables us to save costs, so we can maximise the impact of your donation. Plus, it helps us protect the environment by reducing our paper consumption. 

Switching to online tax statements also means we can get your Annual Tax Statement out to you faster. If you’d still prefer to receive a printed tax statement in the mail, you can easily update your preferences. Call us on 13 32 40 or email us at service@worldvision.com.au

You’ll need to update your preference by 30 June to ensure you receive a printed tax statement for the 2025-26 financial year. 

Yes, you can choose to receive your tax statement via post. However, please note that the cut-off date to opt in for printed 2025-26 statements is 30 June. If you change your preference after this date, we’ll try our best to post your statement out from 22 July for this financial year. If this isn’t possible, you’ll receive an emailed statement around 17 July.  

Yes, you can ask for an up-to-date summary of your tax-deductible contributions by calling us on 13 32 40. However, please note that as it will be issued prior to the end of the financial year, it may be incomplete. We will still send you an Annual Tax Statement for the entire financial year once it's complete, which we recommend you rely on.

Since 1 July 2008, we stopped issuing receipts for individual gifts to reduce costs and simplify processes. Instead, you’ll receive an Annual Tax Statement that contains a summary of tax-deductible donations you made to us during the financial year.  

If you live in New South Wales, you will continue to receive receipts for certain types of individual gifts in compliance with NSW fundraising laws. 

Group donations:

Many of our generous supporters give as a group with friends, family or work colleagues. This is done by pooling donations and having one person from the group send us the pooled amount. Each year, we spend considerable resources (in staff time and postage) responding to requests for Annual Tax Statements to be issued to members of such groups.  

If you regularly donate in this way, you can help us save on administration costs by contacting us at the start of the financial year. That way, we’ll have time to prepare Annual Tax Statements for each group member. You’ll also ensure more of your donations can be used directly to help children and communities. 

 

 

Donations made through a bank 

If you donated to any World Vision appeal at a bank branch, your donation will not be included in your Annual Tax Statement. You should use the deposit slip issued to you by the bank at that time for taxation purposes.  

40 Hour Famine 

If you sponsored a 40 Hour Famine participant and this was your sole donation to World Vision this financial year, it will not be included in your Annual Tax Statement. Please refer to the donation receipt you received through the Raisely fundraising platform at the time you donated.  

Some donations are not tax deductible 

Donations must be $2 or more and have been donated to a tax-deductible appeal to qualify. For example, funds you have given to us as part of a competition or promotion or where you have otherwise received a benefit (such as purchasing a t-shirt) are not tax-deductible.  

Workplace Giving  

If you supported us through a Workplace Giving program, please contact your employer for confirmation of your contributions to use when completing your tax return. 

If you supported us through a Workplace Giving program, please contact your employer for confirmation of your contributions to use when completing your tax return. 

To enable you to claim a tax deduction for your generous donations, World Vision must maintain special endorsements from the Australian Taxation Office to qualify for “Deductible Gift Recipient” (DGR) status.  

World Vision Australia has DGR endorsement as a Public Benevolent Institution and to operate an Overseas Aid Fund.  

If you supported our tax-deductible programs in Australia (for example, through the Australia First Nations Program or the purchase of relevant World Vision gift catalogue items such as early learning for First Nations children), your donation is used by us in our work as a Public Benevolent Institution.  

If you supported our tax-deductible programs overseas (including through the purchase of relevant World Vision gift catalogue items) your donation was paid into the Overseas Aid Fund.  

For any information regarding World Vision Australia, please refer to our Annual Reports.
