ClubGRANTS annual returns

Registered clubs who earn $1million or more in gaming machine profit each year are taxed through the ClubGRANTS scheme.

The scheme enables a club’s participation, support, and leadership within their local area by providing funding for projects, services, and programs that benefit their community.

All registered clubs have a mandatory tax of 0.4% as their contribution to the ClubGRANTS Fund.
An additional 1.85% tax is applied to clubs who don’t meet the lodgement date or their ClubGRANTS obligations as outlined in the Guidelines (PDF 423.9 KB).

The portal has a login and save function so you can start drafting your return before you’re ready to lodge.
A signed Secretary declaration needs to be included with your lodged return.
The gaming tax year for clubs ends on 31 August. You can lodge your return from 1 September to 9 September 2019.
