[talk-au] Local entity... again...

[John Smith]

These aren't official definitions and this isn't meant to be any kind
of tax advice so always consult an accountant etc etc etc..

To clarify a few terms first, 'Tax Deductibility Status' (TDS) means
any monetary donations enable the person or business donating to claim
this on their personal of business tax returns. 'Tax Concessions' (TC)
means if you incur a tangible cost, such as petrol, for the purposes
of enabling a non-profit entity to further it's goals.

Someone brought up an interesting point the other day I'd completely
forgotten about, even without TDS there is a chance we would still be
eligible for TC when donating time to OSM related activities. While I
highly doubt you'd be able to claim your time spent on this activity
you might be able to claim direct costs like petrol and depending on
the primary purpose things like GPS devices, although it would
definitely be a stretch trying to claim things like computers.

Also it seems like a good to register an organisation now that the new
tax year has just clocked over, can people please read over the
proposed association rules, as they'll be submitted some time next
week for incorporation, I have access to an accountant in NSW to use
for this, so if no one has any objections I'll get it processed in
NSW.

Re: [talk-au] Queensland parks, forests and conservation areas

[Tom Brennan]

Makes sense. The IUCN Protected Areas Categories are an international 
standard, and there shouldn't really be any shoehorning to get Aussie 
protected areas to fit.


To use a couple of examples (from NSW! :) )
Blue Mountains National Park
boundary=protected_area
protect_id=2
protection_title=National Park

Wolgan State Forest
boundary=protected_area
protect_id=6
protection_title=State Forest

cheers

You could use protection_title=Conservation park




Usefull additional keys


key

value

discription



  protection_title=

wildlife sanctuary, Zapovedniki, Nationalpark, Special Protected Area, World
Heritage Convention, Aesthetic Forest, Heritage River, Indian Reserve, ...

Title or type of protection. The national destination, the formal title or
type of protection (see level-table).

Important! You should give this. To make differences within one level. At
the end it gives too a sample of terms. Put the proper name as key-value.
The individual labeling, f.e. like the phillipine "Nipas Category".

Here's what I've currently got, any more comments?

Is it worth using an additional

classification:qld=national_park|conservation_park|state_forest, etc.

(or similar), just to make things extra clear?



That is, when you use a rule like "Conservation Parks get

boundary=protected_area", I think it would be nice to also record that

they are a conservation_park.
