A New Tax System (Wine Equalisation Tax) Act 1999

Part 2 - Wine tax  

Division 5 - General rules for taxability  

5-5   General rules for taxing assessable dealings  

(1)    
The * Assessable Dealings Table sets out all the * assessable dealings that can be subject to wine tax.

(2)    


If the time of an * assessable dealing (as specified in column 4 of the table) is on or after 1 July 2000, and no exemption applies under Division 7 , then:


(a) the dealing is a * taxable dealing ; and


(b) the entity specified in column 3 is the entity liable to the tax; and


(c) the tax becomes payable at the time of the dealing, as specified in column 4.

However, an assessable dealing (other than a * customs dealing ) is a taxable dealing only if the entity specified in column 3 is * registered or * required to be registered .

Note:

Under Part 5 , amounts of wine tax, on assessable dealings (other than customs dealings), are included in your net amount under the GST system.


(3)    
To calculate the amount of the tax:


(a) determine the * taxable value of the dealing under Division 9 ; and


(b) multiply the result by 29%.

Note:

The amount of tax is reduced for some importations (e.g. accompanied baggage of passengers) that are free of customs duty (see section 5-40 ).


(4)    


The table does not apply to a dealing with wine unless the wine is * assessable wine immediately before the time of the dealing, and is in the indirect tax zone at the time of the dealing.

Note:

The numbering of items in the table uses the following pattern:

For Australian wine, the dealings are divided into 4 groups:

  • • wholesale sales begin with AD1
  • • retail sales begin with AD2
  • • an AOU begins with AD3
  • • miscellaneous dealings begin with AD4.
  • Imported wine has an additional class of local entry (AD10). The other dealings with imported wine have a number that is 10 higher than the broadly corresponding dealing with Australian wine. For example, AD12b for imported wine corresponds to AD2b for Australian wine.
