FAQ's

Are my raffle tickets Tax Deductible?

No – raffle tickets are not able to be claimed as a tax deduction.  In accordance with Australian Tax Office guidelines, as you receive a ticket with the chance to win a prize in return for your transaction, this is not a donation and therefore your purchase can’t be claimed as a tax deduction.

Despite whom purchases the ticket, the name of the person on the ticket number drawn will be considered the “Winner” of the prize.
