Note: Incomplete or late applications may not be considered eligible for assessment.
Stage 3 - Application is assessed
Your application will be assessed on the following:
Stage 4 - Outcome
Organisations will be notified of the outcome of their application. Applicants may be required to attend a metting to further discuss the event and the sponsorship agreement, including type of support and responsibilities.
The value of sponsorship will be determined by Council in accordance with your application and the marking criteria. However previous event sponsorship support does not guarantee ongoing sponsorship support.
Any successful applicants will need to fulfil specific requirements which may include displaying Ipswich City Council signage and logos etc. Your requirements will be outlined after a meeting with an Council employee.
If your organisation has an ABN and is registered for GST it is required to enter into a Recipient Created Tax Invoice (RCTI) Agreement. The RCTI Agreement allows Ipswich City Council to raise a Tax Invoice on behalf of the organisation. This means a Tax Invoice cannot then be issued by the organisation. This will eliminate the need for unnecessary correspondence. The RCTI will be generated and sent to the organisation with sponsorship.
If your organisation is not registered for GST, it is required to send Council an invoice for the approved amount of the sponsorship. Once the Ipswich City Council receives the invoice for sponsorship funds payment will be processed and sent to the organisation.
Council reserves the right to recover any Sporting Event Sponsorship support should the sponsored event be cancelled or postponed.
Goods and Services Tax is applicable to all services including the financial assistance provided under this program provided that the applicant is registered for GST.
If your organisation has an ABN and is registered for GST, the sponsorship will be grossed up by the GST amount. You will be required to remit the GST amount to the Australian Taxation Office on you next Business Activity Statement.
If your organisation is not registered for GST, then no GST will be applicable to the sponsorship.
Under the Pay As You Go (PAYG) withholding system, Council is obliged to withhold tax from recipients that do not quote an Australian Business Number (ABN). If your organisation wishes to claim exemption from withholding tax it must complete the Organisation Declaration on page 4 of the application.
Sport and recreation clubs play a key role in keeping the community healthy and active. Building Better Clubs has been created to help sport and recreation clubs in Ipswich be sustainable for a better community.
The program focuses on providing support in five key areas:
