However, the legal meaning of the term can differ from the popular understanding. In legal terms, a charity is an entity established for altruistic purposes that the law regards as charitable. While the Australian Tax Office endorses organisations as eligible for charitable status, the Tax Office does not set the criteria to decide whether or not an organisation is a charity. Criteria for deciding what is a charity have been established by case law.
