TAXATION AND YOUR CLUB'S RESPONSIBLIES
Following the Federation's seminar held at the Shedley Theatre Elizabeth Town Centre on 22 February 2025 with the Australian Taxation Office's Not-for profits, the Assistant Commissioner has sent us an email containing the following documents.
The first one is a large file dealing with Mutuality. You can download this file as it answers many questions your club may have. Mutuality is important to your club, because if your only income is from members subscriptions and member events , then these amounts are not assessable as income.
See the details of this document here: ATO mutuality_and_taxable_income_for_not_for_profits_
The second document is a fillable form "NFP company non-lodgment advice" which is available here : ATO NFP Non Lodgement advice, fillable form-
If you need to amend any authorities for the ATO use this form: ATO Change of details , this is a fillable form which is posted to the ATO.
The Federation Executive are not taxation advisors, and are unable to offer advice, all questions should be directed to the ATO or your tax agent.
