Membership is financial year in nature.
Fee structure includes 10% GST and membership begins on the 1stJuly
If you join part way through the year our constitution allows you to deduct the used portion of the financial year and pay for the unused portion of the year. For example if you join in September you may take three months or one quarter off the fee for the income level you are paying ie 3/4 X $132 (100K-350K) = $99
