    Find out about:

    Non-monetary prizes

    You do not include the value of non-monetary prizes, such as a car, when you work out your margin. You can only deduct monetary prizes from the total amount wagered.

    Example: Non-monetary prizes

    Helpfund, a GST registered business, raffles a car and collects $44,000 from ticket sales. As the car is not a monetary prize, the margin for the sale is $44,000. Helpfund will need to pay $4,000 GST ($44,000 × (1 ÷ 11)).

    End of example

    Donated prizes

    If you receive a monetary donation that you use as a prize in a raffle or competition, you include the value of the donation in your margin.

    If you receive a non-monetary donation that you use as a prize in a raffle or competition, you do not include the value of the donation in your margin.

    Unclaimed monetary prizes and bet refunds

    The margin is not changed if monetary prizes are unclaimed or bets are refunded and become the venue's property under the rules or legislation that govern the gambling activity.
