Goods and Services Tax (GST)

a) Definitions

In this clause 5 the expressions “adjustment note”, “consideration”, “GST”, “Supply”, “tax invoice”, “recipient” and “taxable supply” have the meanings given to those expressions in the A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Act 1999. For the avoidance of doubt, “GST” includes any penalties or additional tax imposed in relation to the GST.

b) Sums include GST

Unless otherwise expressly stated, all prices or other sums payable or consideration to be provided under this agreement are inclusive of GST.

c) Responsibility for GST

Despite any other provision in this agreement, if GST is imposed on any supply made under this agreement, the recipient must pay to the supplier an amount equal to the GST payable on the

supply. The recipient must pay the amount referred to in this clause 5c in addition to and at the same time as payment for the supply is required to be made under this agreement.

d) Tax Invoice

If a supply is made to which GST applies or is varied under this agreement, the supplier must provide the recipient of the supply a valid tax invoice or adjustment note at or before the time

of payment or variation.

e) Adjustment

If the amount of GST paid or payable by the supplier on any supply made under this agreement differs from the amount of GST paid by the recipient, because the Commissioner of Taxation lawfully adjusts the value of the taxable supply for the purpose of calculating GST, then the amount of GST paid by the recipient will be adjusted accordingly by a further payment by the recipient to the supplier or the supplier to the recipient, as the case requires.
