A NEW TAX SYSTEM (GOODS AND SERVICES TAX) ACT 1999 - SECT 58.15

Adjustments for bad debts

             (1)  For the purposes of determining whether an * adjustment arises under section 21-5 or 21-15 for the whole or a part of a debt relating to a * taxable supply or * creditable acquisition for which a * representative of an * incapacitated entity is liable to pay GST, or is entitled to an input tax credit, under section 58-10:

                     (a)  the adjustment cannot arise if, when the whole or part of the debt is written off, or has been * overdue for 12 months, the representative * accounts on a cash basis; but

                     (b)  it does not matter whether the incapacitated entity accounts on a cash basis at that or any other time.

             (2)  This section has effect despite subsections 21-5(2) and 21-15(2) (which preclude adjustments for bad debts when accounting on a cash basis).
