Chapter 4
-
The special rules
Part 4-2
-
Special rules mainly about supplies and acquisitions
A supply is a taxable supply (except to the extent that it is *GST-free or *input taxed) if:
(a) the supply is for *consideration; and
(b) the *recipient of the supply is *registered, or *required to be registered; and
(c) the supply is covered by the third column of this table.
The purpose test referred to in items 1, 2 and 4 of the table in subsection (1) is that:
(a) the *recipient of the supply acquires the thing supplied solely or partly for the purpose of an *enterprise that the recipient *carries on in the indirect tax zone; and
(b) the recipient does not acquire the thing supplied solely for a *creditable purpose.
However, items 3 and 5 of the table in subsection (1) only cover a supply to the extent that it is *connected with the indirect tax zone solely because of:
(a) for item 3 - paragraph 9-25(5)(d); or
(b) for item 5 - Subdivision 84-C .
(Repealed by No 77 of 2017)
For the purposes of this section, in determining whether the * recipient is * required to be registered , what would be the * value of such supplies (if they were * taxable supplies ) is to be counted towards the recipient ' s * GST turnover .
This section has effect despite section 9-5 (which is about what is a taxable supply).
Note:
The special rules in this Part mainly modify the operation of Part 2-2 , but they may affect other Parts of Chapter 2 in minor ways.
