If your sporting club or association is a not-for-profit (NFP), has an active Australian business number (ABN) and has been self-assessing as income tax exempt, you need to lodge an NFP self-review return with the ATO by 31 October. Penalties may apply if you miss the deadline. 

You can lodge the return online, via the self-help phone service on 13 72 26, or through a registered tax agent.  

The ATO has guidance to help. To get started, preview the return questions. For step-by-step help with setting up accesses to lodge online, download the Update, connect and lodge flowchart at ato.gov.au/lodgeselfreview.
