AB - Our club went through this exercise some years ago, and despite what a club's constitution states, the final call is with the ATO. If you look at the reference quoted in #2 above you will find that is DOES NOT state that 4 Wheel Driving is a sport.

We ended up putting a submission to the ATO outlining our club's situation (as far as competition and such was concerned) and we received a special ruling to get a tax exemption.

If you think otherwise you are dreaming and your club has the potential to be audited and made to pay back taxes.

This may open a can of worms - but they are the cold hard facts.
