Classification of common revenue

Last updated 3 December 2018

The classification of your organisation's revenue will depend on its particular facts and circumstances.

Example: Bar sales

Bar sales are shown as apportionable on the basis the bar is available to both members and non-members. If, however, the bar is only available to:

  • non-members – the sales are fully assessable
  • members – the sales are non-assessable.
End of example
The table below provides general guidance only.
