For the financial year ended 30 June 2019, less than 50% of the Club’s gross takings are from its Voting Members. As such, the Club did not meet the 50% threshold requirements under Section 11(1) of the Singapore Income Tax Act (“SITA”). In this regard, the provisional income tax computation has been prepared on the basis that the Club is deemed to be carrying on a business and will be taxed on its operating surplus (total receipts of income less tax-deductible operating expenses), in addition to income from other sources derived from dealings with non- members, such as interest income.

The total charge for the year can be reconciled to the accounting loss as follows:
