Sporting and Community Clubs

Saward Dawson provides a variety of services to sporting and other community based NFP clubs. Clubs can vary significantly in size and the types of income they derive, but all can face complex tax, accounting and reporting obligations.

Tax

Some clubs are exempt from income tax and lodge an annual self review return with the Taxation Office.  Other clubs do not meet the requirements for income tax exemption and must lodge an annual income tax return using the principle of mutuality to determine taxable income.  Out taxation services team can advise on tax exemption entitlement and can prepare tax returns for clubs that require them.  We can also provide advise on GST, including registration and GST concessions.
