GSTR 2002/2A10 - Addendum

Goods and services tax: GST treatment of financial supplies and related supplies and acquisitions

Addendum

This Addendum is a public ruling for the purposes of the Taxation Administration Act 1953. It amends Goods and Services Tax Ruling GSTR 2002/2 to:

reflect changes in goods and services tax (GST) law (for instance, changes to the GST legislation applicable to cross-border supplies, and in relation to digital currency)
include new references to public guidance released relating to financial supplies
modernise parts of the Ruling
include a new buy-now pay-later example that applies the ATO's longstanding view on interest-free loans, and
make several updates to Schedule 2 of the Ruling to indicate when certain foreign-currency-denominated products and overseas payment products are GST-free.

GSTR 2002/2 is amended as follows:

1. Preamble

Omit the preamble; substitute:

Relying on this Ruling
This publication (excluding Schedule 1) is a public ruling for the purposes of the Taxation Administration Act 1953.
If this Ruling applies to you, and you correctly rely on it, we will apply the law to you in the way set out in this Ruling. That is, you will not pay any more tax or penalties or interest in respect of the matters covered by this Ruling.

2. Throughout Ruling, including footnotes

(a) Omit all instances of 'Subregulations'; substitute 'Subsections'.

(b) Omit all instances of 'subregulations'; substitute 'subsections'.

(c) Omit all instances of 'subregulation'; substitute 'subsection'.

(a) Omit 'A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Regulations 2009'; substitute 'A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Regulations 2019'.

(b) At the end of paragraph 1, insert new footnote A1:

A1 The GST regulations were remade with effect from 1 April 2019. A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Regulations 2019 (the new regulations) repealed redundant provisions, simplified language and restructured provisions for ease of navigation. They do not affect the substantive meaning or operation of the provisions. All references to the GST regulations in this Ruling are to the new regulations.

4. Paragraph 4

(a) Omit the wording of the paragraph; substitute:

Unless otherwise stated, all legislative references in this Ruling are to the GST Act and GST regulations. In this Ruling, provisions of the GST Act and the GST regulations are referred to as sections, subsections, paragraphs and subparagraphs (as appropriate) in line with current legislative drafting practice. The format of the provision allows you to distinguish between provisions within the GST Act, as opposed to provisions of the GST regulations. For example, section 40-5 refers to a section of the GST Act, whereas section 40-5.09 refers to a section of the GST regulations.

(b) After the paragraph, insert new paragraph 4A:

4A. From 1 July 2015, the term "Australia" was replaced in nearly all instances within the GST, Luxury Car Tax and Wine Equalisation Tax legislation with the term "indirect tax zone". The scope of the new term, however, remains the same as the now repealed definition of "Australia" used in those Acts. This change was made for consistency of terminology across the tax legislation, with no change in policy or legal effect. In this Ruling, the "indirect tax zone" is referred to as "Australia".

5. Paragraph 5

(a) Omit the fourth sentence; substitute 'Among others, key relevant public rulings for financial suppliers include:'.

6. Paragraph 6

(a) Omit the first sentence; substitute 'This Ruling applies both before and after its date of issue, subject to the commencement and application provisions of each Act or Regulation to which it refers'.

(b) Omit '20006/10'; substitute '2006/10 Public Rulings'.

7. Paragraph 6A

(a) Omit the wording of the paragraph, including footnote 1A; substitute:

(b) After the paragraph, insert new paragraph 6C:

6C. Where an addendum applies to tax periods both before and after its date of issue, both the pre-addendum wording of the Ruling and the revised wording in the addendum apply for tax periods prior to the issue date of the addendum. In these circumstances, entities can choose to rely on either version when applying the Ruling to the past periods.

Example 2A: Buy-now, pay-later credit provider
42A. SmithaPay is a buy-now, pay-later provider, who provides credit to consumers on terms where they need to repay in six equal instalments. Consumers can use the credit to acquire goods and services from participating merchants. Under the contractual arrangements between SmithaPay and those merchants, the merchants accept that the customer's obligation to pay the merchant for the underlying goods or services is discharged by the buy-now, pay-later provider.31A
42B. SmithaPay does not charge interest to these customers, but it does charge late fees if customers fail to pay on time. Albert enters into such an arrangement to purchase a mobile phone from a merchant.
42C. The consideration provided by Albert is the interest in a debt (his obligation to repay) and is money as defined in section 195-1. The supply by SmithaPay of the interest in a credit arrangement is the supply of a financial interest for consideration (the interest in a debt). This would be the case even if SmithaPay did not charge late fees to customers. Any late fees paid by Albert are additional consideration for the supply by SmithaPay of the interest in the credit arrangement to Albert.

(c) At the end of new paragraph 42A, insert new footnote 31A:

31A This example does not address circumstances where there is an assignment of the debt from the merchant as (under typical buy-now, pay-later arrangements) the customer's debt to the merchant is discharged by the buy-now, pay-later provider. Guidance on assignment arrangements is provided in GSTR 2004/4.

Goods and Services Tax Ruling GSTR 2002/5 Goods and services tax: when is a 'supply of a going concern' GST-free?; and
Goods and Services Tax Ruling GSTR 2006/4 Goods and services tax: determining the extent of creditable purpose for claiming input tax credits and for making adjustments for changes in extent of creditable purpose.

32. Paragraph 45

33. Paragraph 46

34. Paragraph 48

After the paragraph, insert new paragraph 48A:

48A. Therefore, in determining whether the provision, acquisition or disposal of the interest is connected with Australia, the tests contained in subsection 9 25(5) are relevant, along with the exceptions outlined in subsection 9-26(1). The principles dealing with when the supply of anything other than goods or real property is connected with Australia are set out in:

Goods and Services Tax Ruling GSTR 2019/1 Goods and services tax: supply of anything other than goods or real property connected with the indirect tax zone (Australia); and
Goods and Services Tax Ruling GSTR 2017/1 Goods and services tax: making cross-border supplies to Australian consumers.

35. Paragraph 49

(a) Omit the wording of the paragraph, including footnote 33; substitute:

These tests are alternatives, so that the provision, acquisition or disposal of an interest may be connected with Australia if:

the thing is done in Australia (see paragraphs 29 to 60 of GSTR 2019/1), unless the supply is disconnected under subsection 9-26(1) (see paragraphs 66 to 78 in GSTR 2019/1);
the provision, acquisition or disposal of the interest is made through an enterprise that the supplier carries on in Australia (see paragraphs 8 to 28 of GSTR 2019/1);
neither of the above two tests apply and the supply is of a right or option to acquire another thing and the supply of that other thing would be connected with Australia (see paragraphs 61 to 65 of GSTR 2019/1); or
the recipient is an Australian consumer (see GSTR 2017/1).

In the context of financial supplies, the supplier is the provider, acquirer, or disposer of the financial interest.

(b) After the paragraph, insert new paragraph 49A:

49A. Subsection 9-26(1) outlines exceptions to certain connected with Australia rules. Relevantly for financial supplies, inbound intangible supplies by a non-resident to an Australian-based business recipient will not be connected with Australia, even if they are done in Australia, unless the supplier makes the supply through an enterprise they carry on in Australia.

36. Paragraph 50

Omit the wording of the paragraph; substitute:

Paragraphs 51 to 77B of this Ruling draw on the principles dealing with when something is connected with Australia as set out in the rulings listed in paragraph 49 of this Ruling and are intended to illustrate how those principles apply in the context of financial supplies.

37. Paragraph 51

Omit the first sentence (excluding footnote 34); substitute:

'Thing' is defined to mean anything that can be supplied or imported.34 'Thing' includes but is not limited to a service, advice, information, a right, a digital product, obligations to do anything, or any combination of these things.

38. Paragraphs 52 to 60

Omit the paragraphs, including headings.

39. Paragraph 61

(a) Omit the heading.

(b) Omit footnotes 35, 36 and 37.

40. Paragraph 62

(a) Omit the wording of the paragraph; substitute:

Quokka Australia Ltd subscribes for shares in a New Zealand company, Bilby Ltd, which does not carry on an enterprise in Australia. The share subscription agreement is made in New Zealand. The issue (or provision) of the interest in the securities is done in New Zealand, as this is where the contract is made.

(b) After the paragraph, insert new paragraph 62A:

62A. However, even if the thing was done in Australia, if Quokka Australia Ltd is an Australian-based business recipient of the supply, the supply will be disconnected under table item 1 of subsection 9-26(1).

41. Paragraph 63

Omit the paragraph, including heading.

42. Paragraph 64

Omit the wording of the paragraph; substitute:

Constructa Ltd, an Australian construction company, has a contract to build warehouses in Malaysia for a South-East Asian importer, Dragon Imports. Dragon Imports requires Constructa Ltd to provide a bank guarantee to finance completion of the project. An Australian bank agrees to supply the guarantee to Dragon Imports for a fee to be paid by Constructa Ltd. Constructa Ltd pays the fee and the guarantee documents are drawn up and executed in Australia. Although the obligee and the project guaranteed are both outside Australia, the creation (or provision) of the interest under the guarantee is done in Australia, as that is where the guarantee agreement is signed. The provision of the guarantee would also be connected with Australia under paragraph 9-25(5)(b) as it is made through an enterprise the Australian bank carries on in Australia. However, the supply may be GST-free if it satisfies the requirements of a table item of subsection 38-190(1). (See paragraphs 144 to 170B of this Ruling.)

43. Paragraph 65

Omit the wording of the paragraph; substitute:

Where the provision or disposal of the financial interest is done in Australia, the acquisition of the financial interest will also be done in Australia. However, the supply and acquisition-supply must each be separately considered to determine whether each of them is disconnected under subsection 9-26(1).

44. Paragraph 66

Omit the wording of the paragraph; substitute:

Manx Australia Ltd is a GST-registered Australian company which buys shares from a New Zealand company, Bobtail Ltd, which does not carry on an enterprise in Australia. The contract for purchase is made in Australia. The provision of the interest in the securities is done in Australia, as this is where the contract is made. However, the supply of the shares by Bobtail Ltd to Manx Australia Ltd, an Australian-based business recipient, is disconnected from Australia under table item 1 of subsection 9-26(1). The acquisition of the interest in the shares by Manx Australia Ltd is also done in Australia. The acquisition-supply made by Manx Australia Ltd is connected with Australia because the acquisition is done in Australia and is made through an enterprise that Manx Australia Ltd carries on in Australia (satisfying subsections 9-25(5)(a) and (b) respectively) and table item 1 of subsection 9-26(1) does not apply to disconnect the supply. However, the acquisition-supply may be GST-free if it satisfies the requirements of a table item of subsection 38-190(1). (See paragraphs 144 to 170B of this Ruling.)

45. Paragraph 67

(a) After 'carries on in Australia', insert '(Australian GST presence)'.

(b) After the paragraph, insert new paragraph 67A:

67A. The principles for determining when an entity has an Australian GST presence within the meaning of section 9-27 are outlined in Law Companion Ruling LCR 2016/1 GST and carrying on an enterprise in the indirect tax zone (Australia). GSTR 2019/1 provides guidance on when a supply is made through an Australian GST presence for the purpose of determining whether the supply is connected with Australia under paragraph 9-25(5)(b) (see paragraphs 8 to 28 of this Ruling).

46. Paragraphs 68 to 70

Omit the paragraphs.

47. Paragraph 71

(a) In the second sentence, omit 'enterprise the supplier carries on in Australia'; substitute 'Australian GST presence, or if it is made to an Australian consumer'.

48. Paragraph 72

(a) In the first sentence, omit ',Marvel Inc.'; substitute 'with no Australian GST presence, Marvel Inc.,'.

49. Paragraph 73

(a) Omit the wording of the paragraph; substitute:

The $10 million worth of notes acquired by Marvel Inc. from Blue Chip Australia are supplied through an Australian GST presence and the supply is connected with Australia. However, the supply may be GST-free if it satisfies the requirements of a table item of subsection 38-190(1). (See paragraphs 144 to 170B of this Ruling.).

(b) After the paragraph, insert new paragraph 73A:

73A. The acquisition-supply by Marvel Inc. from Blue Chip Australia will not be connected with Australia, even if the thing is done in Australia. It will be disconnected by subsection 9-26(1) because Marvel Inc. is a non-resident that does not make the acquisition-supply through an Australian GST presence and is making a supply to an Australian-based business recipient.38AA

(c) At the end of new paragraph 73A, insert new footnote 38AA:

38AA Similar to the outcome in paragraph 115 of this Ruling, the receipt of notes by Marvel Inc. is also an acquisition-supply to Blue Chip Australia.

50. Paragraph 74

Omit the wording of the paragraph (excluding footnote 38A); substitute:

The $10 million worth of notes acquired by Marvel Inc. from Integrity Plus is not supplied through an Australian GST presence and the supply is not connected with Australia. The acquisition-supply by Marvel Inc. is not made through an Australian GST presence nor done in Australia and therefore is not connected with Australia.38A

51. Paragraph 75

In the first sentence, omit 'enterprise the supplier carries on in Australia'; substitute 'Australian GST presence, is not made to an Australian consumer'.

52. Paragraph 76

In the first sentence, omit 'enterprise it carries on in Australia'; substitute 'Australian GST presence'.

53. Paragraph 77

(a) In the third sentence, omit 'enterprise the supplier carries on in Australia.'; substitute 'Australian GST presence, and Boxer Ltd is not an Australian consumer'.

(a) In the second sentence, omit 'enterprise that is carried on in Australia'; substitute 'Australian GST presence'.

(b) After 'see paragraphs 144 to 170', insert 'B'.

(c) After the paragraph, insert new paragraph 77B, including heading:

Recipient of the supply is an Australian consumer
77B. Under paragraph 9-25(5)(d), a supply of anything other than goods or real property will be connected with Australia if the recipient of the supply is an Australian consumer (refer to GSTR 2017/1).38AB This includes supplies of services, rights, entry into or release from obligations or digital products, and can include financial supplies.

(d) After the first sentence in new paragraph 77B, insert new footnote 38AB:

38AB A supply that is connected with Australia because it is made to an Australian consumer may still be a financial supply.

(c) Omit the wording of footnote 47; substitute:

This example illustrates when a supply of money or digital currency is a supply for the purposes of subsection 9-10(4). It does not deal with whether or not Jeanette or CryptoC have made financial supplies. In the example, both the supply of digital currency and the $2,000 (as currency) may be financial supplies under table item 9 of subsection 40-5.09(3).

93. Paragraph 146

(a) Omit the heading; substitute 'Table item 2'.

(b) Omit 'paragraphs 51'; substitute 'paragraph 51 of this Ruling'.

94. Paragraph 148

Omit the wording of the paragraph, substitute 'However, the supply is not GST-free if any of subsections 38-190(2), (2A) or (3) apply to that supply.'

95. Paragraph 150

(a) After 'United States', insert '(US)'.

(b) After 'GST regulations and', insert 'the'.

(c) Omit 'subsection 38-190(1), item 2'; substitute 'table item 2 of subsection 38-190(1)'.

96. Paragraph 151

After 'paragraph 147', insert 'of this Ruling'.

97. Paragraph 152

(a) Omit the wording of the paragraph (excluding footnote 67); substitute:

A supplier is able to check the GST registration status of a recipient by checking the Australian Business Register. However, the Australian Business Register does not include those non-resident entities that are registered as a 'Limited Registration Entity'.

(b) In footnote 67, omit 'www.bep.gov.au or'.

(c) After the paragraph, insert new paragraph 152A:

152A. For the purposes of determining whether a supply is GST-free under table item 2 of subsection 38-190(1), a check of the Australian Business Register may not, on its own, constitute reasonable grounds for being satisfied the recipient is not registered or required to be registered.

98. Paragraph 156

(a) Omit the heading; substitute 'Table item 3'.

(b) Omit 'subsection 38-190(2) or (2A) applies'; substitute 'subsections 38-190(2) or (2A) apply'.

99. Paragraph 157

Omit the wording of the paragraph; substitute:

Ripper Home Loans, an Australian resident company, securitises its mortgages by assigning the income stream from them to a special purpose vehicle, Ripper Securitisation, an Australian resident entity. Ripper Securitisation then issues securities (that are rights) to a non-resident offshore bank, Landmark Ltd, that sells them to offshore investors. Landmark Ltd does not have a presence in Australia in relation to the supply of securities to it. Ripper Securitisation pays interest on the securities to the investors into their offshore accounts. The effective use and enjoyment of the securities by Landmark Ltd is outside Australia, as Landmark Ltd is a company (a non-individual) that does not have a presence in Australia in relation to the supply of securities (see GSTR 2007/2). This example specifically illustrates a situation where effective use and enjoyment takes place outside Australia. However, the supply may also be GST-free under table items 2 and 4 of subsection 38-190(1).

100. Paragraph 158

(a) Omit the heading; substitute 'Table item 4'.

(b) After 'Under', insert 'table'.

(c) After 'of subsection 38-190(1)', insert a comma.

(d) After the paragraph, insert new paragraph 158A:

158A. The principles for determining the types of supplies capable of being covered by table item 4 of subsection 38-190(1) and when rights are 'for use outside Australia' are outlined in GSTR 2003/8.68CA It is the intended use of those rights, determined objectively, that is relevant in determining whether the rights are for use outside Australia. The actual use of the rights is not relevant, other than as potential evidence of the intended use.

(e) After the first sentence of new paragraph 158A, insert new footnote 68CA:

68CA For guidance on the application of these principles to certain categories of financial supplies, refer to the taxation determinations issued in respect of transaction accounts (GSTD 2020/1), credit cards (GSTD 2017/1), the sale or purchase of financial products on overseas securities or futures exchanges (GSTD 2015/1) and foreign currency exchange transactions (GSTD 2012/5).

101. Paragraph 159

Omit the wording of the paragraph; substitute:

A GST-registered Australian company, Never Never Investments P/L (Never Never), sells 100% of the shares in its wholly-owned US subsidiary to another GST-registered Australian company, Kandalex Investments P/L (Kandalex). The US subsidiary operates a profitable business in the US. Kandalex acquires 100% of the shares in the US subsidiary with the intention of holding the shares long term and earning dividend income, using its controlling interest to control the US subsidiary's future business activities. The shares supplied provide Kandalex with various shareholder rights (voting rights, the right to share in company profits, etcetera) which are governed by the relevant US jurisdiction's corporate law.

102. Paragraph 160

(a) Omit the wording of the paragraph; substitute:

The jurisdiction where the relevant rights would be exercised or enforced by Kandalex is relevant to determining if the rights under the shares are for use outside Australia. In considering the nature of the rights and the surrounding circumstances, the supply of shares by Never Never in the US subsidiary is a supply of rights that are for use outside Australia. The supply is not a supply of rights to which subsections 38 190(2) or (2A) apply. The supply therefore is GST-free under table item 4 of subsection 38-190(1).

103. Paragraphs 161 to 165

Omit the paragraphs, including headings and footnote 68C.

104. Paragraph 166

Omit the heading; substitute 'Determining the residency and location of the recipient'.

105. Paragraph 167

(a) After the paragraph, insert new paragraph 167A:

167A. To satisfy the requirements for a GST-free supply under table item 2 of subsection 38-190(1), the non-resident must also not be in Australia when the thing supplied is done. Whether an entity is 'not in Australia' at the time when the thing supplied is done requires an analysis based on the facts.68DA

(b) At the end of new paragraph 167A, insert new footnote 68DA:

68DA See the following paragraphs in GSTR 2004/7: paragraphs 181 to 191; paragraphs 201 to 228 (individuals); paragraphs 229 to 379 (companies); paragraphs 380 to 409 (partnerships); paragraphs 410 to 419 (corporate limited partnerships); paragraphs 420 to 438 (trusts).

106. Paragraph 168

(a) After 'is a resident or a non-resident', insert 'or whether the counterparty is in Australia when the thing supplied is done'.

(b) After 'determine the residency', insert 'or location'.

(c) Omit '(and only in that circumstance)'; substitute '(and only in that circumstance),'.

(d) After 'approximate the residency', insert 'and location'.

(e) In the third dot point, omit 'nor'; substitute 'or'.

107. Paragraph 169

Omit the paragraph, including footnote 68E.

108. Paragraph 170

(a) After 'supply made pursuant to', insert 'table'.

(b) After the paragraph, insert new paragraphs 170A and 170B:

170A. However, subsection 38-190(3) will not prevent a supply from being GST-free under table item 2 where the supply is not an input taxed supply and any of the following apply:

the other entity (to which the supply is provided or the agreement requires it to be provided) would be an Australian-based business recipient of the supply, if the supply had been made to it;
the other entity is an individual who is provided with the supply as an employee or an officer of an entity that would be an Australian-based business recipient of the supply, if the supply had been made to it; or
the other entity is an individual who is provided with the supply as an employee or officer of the recipient and the recipient's acquisition of the thing is solely for a creditable purpose and is not a non-deductible expense.68G

170B. If the GST-free status of a supply covered by table item 2 of subsection 38-190(1) is negated by the application of subsection 38-190(3), that supply may still be GST-free if the requirements of another table item are satisfied and subsections 38-190(2) and (2A) do not apply.

(c) At the end of new paragraph 170A, insert new footnote 68G:

68G Paragraph 38-190(3)(c).

109. Paragraph 171

(a) Omit the wording of the paragraph (including footnote 69); substitute:

If a supply is not connected with Australia, it will not be a taxable supply under section 9-5 of the GST Act. However, an intangible supply (being the supply of anything other than goods or real property) or supply of low-value goods may be treated as a taxable supply under section 84-5 where certain requirements are satisfied.

(b) After the paragraph, insert new paragraphs 171A, 171B and 171C:

171A. Although the table in subsection 84-5(1) includes several types of supplies that may be subject to the reverse charge, this section of the Ruling focuses on table item 1 of subsection 84-5(1) as this is likely to be the most common item applicable to entities that make financial supplies. An intangible supply will be taxable (except to the extent it is GST-free or input taxed) under table item 1 of subsection 84-5(1) where:

the supply is not connected with Australia;
the recipient of the supply acquires the thing supplied solely or partly for the purpose of an enterprise that the recipient carries on in Australia;
the recipient does not acquire the thing solely for a creditable purpose;
the supply is for consideration; and
the recipient is registered, or required to be registered.69AAAA

171B. The GST on a supply treated as a taxable supply under section 84-5 is payable by the recipient of the supply and is not payable by the supplier. The charge for GST is reversed, so Subdivision 84-A (containing section 84-5) is commonly referred to as a 'reverse charge' provision.69AAA
171C. If Division 84 applies to the provision, acquisition or disposal of an interest mentioned in subsection 40-5.09(3), the provision, acquisition or disposal is a financial supply to the extent that it would, apart from subparagraphs 40-5.09(1)(a)(iii) and (b)(i), be a financial supply.69AA That is, it will be a financial supply (and not a reverse charged taxable supply) even if:

it is not connected with Australia, or
the supplier is not registered for GST.

(c) At the end of new paragraph 171A, insert new footnote 69AAAA:

69AAAA Section 84-5. For the purposes of section 84-5, in determining whether the recipient is required to be registered, the value of such supplies in question (if they were taxable supplies) is counted towards the recipient's GST turnover (see subsection 84-(2)).

(d) At the end of new paragraph 171B, insert new footnote 69AAA:

69AAA See also paragraphs 79 to 87 of GSTR 2019/1.

(e) After 'be a financial supply.' in new paragraph 171C, insert new footnote 69AA:

69AA Subsection 40-5.09(2).

110. Paragraph 173

Omit 'regulation'; substitute 'section'.

(b) Omit 'GST permanent establishment in Australia'; substitute 'Australian GST presence'.

(c) Omit the wording of footnote 69A; substitute 'Paragraphs 9-25(5)(c) and (d) do not apply.'.

113. Paragraph 176

(a) After 'Thus', insert a comma.

(b) After 'section 84-10', insert a comma.

114. Paragraph 177

(a) Omit the second sentence, including footnote 71.

(b) After the paragraph, insert new paragraph 177A:

177A. If the recipient is not registered or required to be registered, the supply may still be a taxable supply where the supply is to an Australian consumer.71AAA GST on taxable supplies to Australian consumers is not subject to the reverse charge in Division 84 (except for certain circumstances where incorrect information is provided to the supplier); rather, GST will be payable by the supplier pursuant to the normal rules.71AA

(c) In new paragraph 177A, after 'to an Australian consumer.', insert new footnote 71AAA:

71AAA Paragraph 9-25(5)(d).

(d) At the end of new paragraph 177A, insert new footnote 71AA:

71AA Sections 9-5 and 9-25.

115. Paragraph 179

(a) After 'provider carries on in Australia,', insert 'are not made to an Australian consumer'.

(b) After 'In these circumstances', insert ', when read on its own'.

116. Paragraph 180

Omit 'to Balmy'; substitute 'Bank to Balmy Unit Trust'.

117. Paragraph 185

Omit all dot points; substitute:

supplies of cheque and deposit forms to an ADI and special forms provided to account holders (table items 1 and 2 of section 40 5.12);

(e) After 'with an account mentioned in', insert 'table'.

(f) After 'interest in or under a debt in', insert 'table'.

122. Paragraph 190

Omit the wording of the paragraph; substitute:
