This unit of study will introduce students to the legal framework in Australia governing not-for-profit (NFP) entities and charitable giving. It will critically examine the fundamental legal and regulatory issues raised by the unique status of NFPs including: the legal definition of charity and what constitutes a charitable gift; the nature of legal entities that comprise the NFP sector and vehicles for charitable giving; the tax treatment of NFPs and tax aspects of charitable giving; and the treatment of political advocacy and religion in charity law.
