The Tao Companion Program is a premium subscription service designed to support the daily administrative, SaaS, and operational costs of the Australian Tao Academy. Because members receive substantial goods and services in return, this Membership Fee ($399/year) is NOT a tax-deductible donation under the Australian DGR (Deductible Gift Recipient) framework. Separate, purely philanthropic donation pathways that may be eligible for tax deductibility are available and kept entirely distinct from this program. We recommend consulting a registered tax adviser regarding your individual circumstances.
Australian Tao Academy Limited is registered with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC) and operates in accordance with the ACNC Act 2012 and Australian Consumer Law. All membership fees are applied transparently to educational programs, operational infrastructure, and community outreach initiatives.
