Incorporated Societies 2025 –Income Tax Considerations and New Guidance - 26 November 2025 (On Demand)
1.25 CPD Hours
Description
With new tax guidance and re-registration deadlines approaching, now’s the time for Incorporated Societies to review their rules and income tax approach—join our webinar to get up to speed.
Existing incorporated societies are reviewing their rules and if they decide to stay registered must re-register with the Companies Office under the Incorporated Societies Act 2022 by 5 April 2026. New societies wanting to register will automatically register under the new Act. Inland Revenue has recently issued draft operational guidance on the taxation of mutual transactions of associations following public consultation on taxation for the not-for-profit sector in February 2025. Now may be a good time to review an existing incorporated society’s approach to income tax.
The webinar will cover:
- The taxation framework for clubs and societies
- Income tax exemptions
- Allowable deductions
- The taxation approach for mutual associations
