Donations of $2 or more to Men’s Sheds will become tax deductible from July 1 next year.
The South Burnett has a number of the popular groups which are members of the Australian Men’s Shed Association … in Kilkivan, Cherbourg, Murgon, Proston, Kingaroy and Nanango.
“The Men’s Shed program is a huge success and they provide support to so many people – providing a place for some to build and create, while for others it’s a reason to get up every day,” Member for Wide Bay Llew Mr O’Brien said.
“Now it’s our turn to provide more support to them.”
Mr O’Brien said the new tax deductions would give people an extra incentive to make a donation, which would help to secure the financial stability of existing sheds.
