Notice of Withdrawal

Goods and Services Tax Advice GSTA TPP 055 is withdrawn with effect from today.

1. GSTA TPP 055 explained that diesel fuel rebates and diesel fuel grants are not consideration for supplies and therefore cannot be consideration for taxable supplies. Applicants lodging an application for payment of diesel fuel rebates or grants were applying for the payment of an existing entitlement and the information contained in the application was not the purpose for which the payments were made. The application was the mechanism that enabled the payments to be made.

2. GSTA TPP 055 is withdrawn because it is not current. The system of grants and rebates was replaced by a single fuel tax credit system under Part 3-1 of the Fuel Tax Act 2006.
