Notice of Withdrawal

Goods and Services Tax Advice GSTA TPP 089 is withdrawn with effect from today.

1. GSTA TPP 089 stated that the recipient of a supply that cancels its GST registration before it receives a tax invoice for a creditable acquisition, is not entitled to an input tax credit for that acquisition.

2. GSTA TPP 089 is withdrawn as it is a duplication of an existing ATO view and therefore it is no longer required.

3. The Commissioner's view regarding when a tax invoice is required is contained in paragraph 10 of Goods and Services Tax Ruling GSTR 2000/34 Goods and Services Tx: what is an invoice for the purposes of the A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Act 1999 ('GST Act')? The requirements for tax invoices and the Commissioner's discretion to treat a document as a tax invoice are also considered in Goods and Services Tax Ruling GSTR 2013/1 Goods and services tax: tax invoices.
