Division 17 applies to the * joint venture operator of a * GST joint venture as if the joint venture operator had an additional * net amount , relating to the joint venture, for each tax period.

(2)    
The additional * net amount relating to the joint venture is worked out as if the joint venture operator:


(a) is only liable for the GST on * taxable supplies that the joint venture operator makes, on behalf of another entity that is a * participant in the joint venture, in the course of activities for which the joint venture was entered into; and


(b) is only entitled to the input tax credits for * creditable acquisitions or * creditable importations that the joint venture operator makes on behalf of another entity that is a participant in the joint venture, in the course of activities for which the joint venture was entered into; and

(b) that additional net amount is worked out by aggregating what would be the additional * net amounts relating to each GST joint venture under subsection (2) if that subsection applied.

This section has effect despite sections 17-5 and 17-10 (which are about net amounts and adjustments).
