50-5   GST treatment of religious practitioners  


If a * religious practitioner :


(a) does an activity, or a series of activities:


(i) in pursuit of his or her vocation as a religious practitioner; and

(ii) as a member of a religious institution; and


(b) does not do the activity, or series of activities, as an employee or agent of the religious institution or another entity;

the * GST law applies as if the activity, or series of activities, had been done by the religious institution and not by the religious practitioner.
