We are a non-profit seniors club. We celebrate cultural festivals via a celebration luncheon 4 times a year with around 350 members attending. We purchase lunches from nearby restaurants and we collect money from members to pay for the lunch - to avoid 350 people paying for it separately.
This lunch money we collect is directly paid to the restaurant and no profit has been made, we are simply the middle person trying to make the logistics of payment easier for everyone. We are not in the business of providing lunch and we do not cook the lunch.
My questions is: Does this lunch money counted as part of GST turnover or not?
