In June 2014, The Australian Centre for Philanthropy and Nonprofit Studies at Queensland
University of Technology, Brisbane, Australia published “[An Examination of Tax Deductible Donations Made By Individual Australian Taxpayers in 2011 – 12](http://eprints.qut.edu.au/72596/)”
by Professor Myles McGregor-Lowndes and Marie Crittall.

The highest average gift deductions were claimed by chief executives and managing
directors ($4,862.89) followed by consultant – financial investment ($2,740.45) 
and then anaesthetists ($2,412.42).

A [database](http://www.qut.edu.au/business/acpns/publications) of all deductible
gifts claimed between 2005 and 2012 can be found on the ACPNS website. It can be
searched by postcode or occupation.
