GENERAL SHOW REGULATIONS The Society’s General Show Regulations and Section

Conditions regulate the conduct of the Show. Upon acceptance of an entry the Exhibitor is irrevocably contracted to be bound by those General Show Regulations and Section Conditions. A copy of the Society’s General Show Regulations may be

obtained on application or from the website http://perthroyalshow.com.au/general-regulations. An Exhibitor who breaches any General Show Regulation or Section Condition may be disqualified, or suspended for any period, fined or otherwise penalised. The Society may publish to: a) all Royal Show Societies in Australia; b) the relevant Breed Society; and c) the body with which the exhibit is registered, or is

eligible for registration, the result of any proceedings before the Disciplinary Committee in which a person has been found to have breached any General Show Regulation or Section Condition. The Society may recognise and act upon any penalty imposed by any other similar society, organisation or body in Australia on any person or exhibit. It is in the Exhibitors best interests to carefully read all conditions. INSURANCE The Owner/Exhibitor is responsible for the insurance of their exhibit whilst the exhibit is on the Society’s Showground. DAMAGES The Owner/Exhibitor shall be liable to reimburse the Society for any damages, costs, claims, expenses or liabilities incurred, or likely to be incurred, by the Society arising from the withdrawal of an exhibit. WITHDRAWAL OF EXHIBIT BY THE SOCIETY The Society may, at its sole discretion, withdraw, reject or disqualify an exhibit. Refer to the Society's General Show Regulation 3.18. PRIZE MONEY RASWA has a policy whereby all prize money is paid by EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer). Your banking details will be kept secure and can only be used by RASWA to credit your bank account. Please complete your account details on the entry form even if you have provided them previously. In accordance with the rules of the competition, failure to provide your bank details will mean that any prize money you earn will be forfeited and retained by RASWA. Prize money as stated in the schedule does not include GST. The prize money which the Society pays to successful Exhibitors ("you") depends on the information that you provide to the Society.

If you confirm that you are GST registered and provide your Australian Business Number (ABN) the Society will pay the appropriate prize money plus 10% GST. The Society will provide to you a Recipient Created Tax Invoice (RCTI) within 28 days of the day you were successful at your event, detailing the GST which you will need to submit to the Australian Tax Office (ATO). If any adjustments need to be made, the Society will issue an adjustment note to you within 28 days of the adjustment. Upon entry into the competition and completion and signing of the application form, this form will become a RCTI agreement as required under (Goods and Services Tax) Act 1999. Furthermore, you acknowledge your agreement to the following: • The Society will issue you a tax invoice in respect of the

successful exhibit; • You are requested not to issue a tax invoice to the

Society in respect to prize money received; • It will be necessary for you to notify the Society if you

cease to be registered for GST; and • The Society will notify you if it ceases to satisfy any of

the requirements of the determinations. If you provide your ABN but are not registered for GST, the Society will pay the prize money as detailed in the prize schedule. If you are a business Exhibitor and do not provide your ABN to the Society, 47% tax will be deducted from your prize money under the ATO PAYG provisions. If you confirm that you are entering as part of a private recreational pursuit or hobby, the Society will pay the prize money as detailed in the prize schedule. AWARDS The Society will not be responsible for awards or prize money not received by Exhibitors after 31 December 2019. If you have not received award or prize money by 30 November 2019, please contact RASWA on (08) 6263 3100.
