A NEW TAX SYSTEM (GOODS AND SERVICES TAX) ACT 1999 - SECT 58.1

What this Division is about

This Division sets out how to ascribe activities of a representative of an incapacitated entity between the representative and the incapacitated entity for GST purposes.

In particular, supplies, acquisitions and importations, and associated acts and omissions, by the representative are, in most cases, treated as having been by the incapacitated entity. This ensures that a transaction by the representative has the same consequences under the GST law as if the incapacitated entity had no representative.

However, in most cases, GST - related liabilities and entitlements are allocated to the representative for transactions that are within the scope of the representative's responsibility or authority.

Note:   This Division does not apply to a representative to the extent that paragraph   105 - 5(1)(a) (which is about supplies by creditors in satisfaction of debts) will apply to its supplies. See section   58 - 95.
