   Register a group

   Businesses may be grouped together and effectively treated as a single entity for wagering and betting purposes so that only one tax-free threshold can be claimed by the group for the relevant financial year.

   A wagering and betting group exists where:

   • the businesses are related bodies corporate within the meaning of s50 of the Corporations Act 2001 (this situation is commonly known as a holding and subsidiary relationship)
   • the same person has (or the same persons together have) a controlling interest in at least 2 businesses.

   When registering a group, nominate one member to register on behalf of the whole group. This member is known as the designated group entity and is responsible for lodging monthly returns on behalf of all group members.

   Enter the details of the designated group entity first, before entering the details of the other group members. You will need to provide the same information for each member of the group.
