9Transaction prices – manner of calculating

(1)
For the purposes of paragraph 7(5)(a) of the Act, the transaction price for a quantity of excisable crude petroleum oil that is all or part of a quantity of oil (the delivered oil) loaded on a ship, or delivered by pipeline, under a contract of sale is:
1. (a)
  if the number of credit days allowed under the contract is no more than 30—the relevant delivery price of the delivered oil; or
2. (b)
  if the number of credit days allowed under the contract is more than 30—the result of deducting from the relevant delivery price of the delivered oil a credit allowance worked out under subsection (2) or (3), as the case requires.
Note 1: For the relevant delivery price, see section 10.
Note 2: For calculating the transaction price under this subsection, adjustments may have to be made to the sale price and the value of any allowable costs (see subsection (4)).
(2)
Subject to subsection (3), the credit allowance for the purposes of paragraph (1)(b) is the result of the following formula (expressed as an amount of Australian dollars to the nearest cent):
where:
interest rate means:
1. (a)
  if there is a maximum indicator interest rate for the date of entry for home consumption of the delivered oil—that maximum indicator interest rate; or
2. (b)
  otherwise—the maximum indicator interest rate quoted by the Reserve Bank for the most recent day before that date of entry.

number of days in the applicable year means:
1. (a)
  if under the contract the effective credit day and the due date for payment are in the same financial year—the number of days in that financial year; or
2. (b)
  if under the contract:
  1. (i)
    the effective credit day is in one financial year and the due date for payment is in the next later financial year; and
  2. (ii)
    the number of credit days allowed under the contract that happen in the first of those financial years is no more than 30;
the number of days in the second of those financial years.
(3)
If:
1. (a)
  the effective credit day under the contract is in one financial year (the first year) and the due date for payment under the contract is in the next later financial year (the second year); and
2. (b)
  the number of credit days allowed under the contract that happen in the first year is more than 30;
the credit allowance for the purposes of paragraph (1)(b) is the result of the following formula (expressed as an amount of Australian dollars to the nearest cent):
where:
IR has the same meaning as interest rate in subsection (2).
RDP means the relevant delivery price of the delivered oil.
(4)
Despite subsection (1) or section 10, in calculating the transaction price for a quantity of excisable crude petroleum oil:
1. (a)
  if the price per kilolitre of the oil, or the sale price, under the contract of sale includes an amount of GST payable on the supply to which that price relates—that price is to be reduced by the amount of GST; and
2. (b)
  if:
  1. (i)
    the value applicable under paragraph 12(1)(b) to a cost mentioned in paragraph 12(1)(a) is an amount mentioned in subparagraph 12(1)(b)(ii); and
  2. (ii)
    the producer is entitled to an input tax credit for the acquisition to which that value relates;
that value is to be reduced by the amount of the input tax credit.
Note: No adjustment is made under this subsection for a value agreed under subparagraph 12(1)(b)(i) because adjustment has already been made in agreeing on that value—see subsection 12(2).

10Transaction prices – relevant delivery price

(1)
The relevant delivery price, for a quantity of crude petroleum oil loaded on a ship, or delivered by pipeline, under a contract of sale is:
1. (a)
  for oil loaded on a ship under an f.o.b. contract or delivered by pipeline—the excisable quantity price for that oil; or
2. (b)
  otherwise—the excisable quantity price for that oil less the excisable quantity cost for that oil.
Note: For the excisable quantity price, see subsection (2). For the excisable quantity cost, see subsection (4).
Excisable quantity price
(2)
The excisable quantity price, for all or part of a quantity of crude petroleum oil entered for home consumption during a month, is the amount (expressed as an amount of Australian dollars to the nearest cent) equal to the proportion of the applicable whole price for that oil that is the same as the proportion:
where:
total quantity overall means the total quantity of:
1. (a)
  excisable crude petroleum oil entered for home consumption during that month by the relevant oil producer; and
2. (b)
  any other crude petroleum oil mixed with that oil at the time of that entry.
(3)
The applicable whole price, for a quantity of crude petroleum oil loaded on a ship, or delivered by pipeline, under a contract of sale, is the following:

  if:
  1. (i)

  2. (ii)
    the amount of the sale price under the contract is to be worked out by reference to the quantity of oil delivered under the contract (the delivered quantity); and
  3. (iii)
    the loaded quantity exceeds the delivered quantity by more than 0.5% of the loaded quantity;
the result of the following formula (expressed as an amount of Australian dollars to the nearest cent):

Excisable quantity cost
(4)
The excisable quantity cost, for all or part of a quantity of crude petroleum oil entered for home consumption during a month, is the amount (expressed as an amount of Australian dollars to the nearest cent) equal to the proportion of the applicable whole cost for that oil that is the same as the proportion:
where:
total quantity overall means the total quantity of:
1. (a)
  excisable crude petroleum oil entered for home consumption during that month by the relevant oil producer; and
2. (b)
  any other crude petroleum oil mixed with that oil at the time of that entry.
(5)
The applicable whole cost, for a quantity of crude petroleum oil loaded on a ship under a contract of sale by the oil producer of that oil is the total of the values applicable under paragraph 12(1)(b) to any of the costs referred to in paragraph 12(1)(a) incurred by the relevant oil producer under the contract.

A misdescribed amendment is an amendment that does not accurately describe how an amendment is to be made. If, despite the misdescription, the amendment can be given effect as intended, then the misdescribed amendment can be incorporated through an editorial change made under section 15V of the Legislation Act 2003.

If a misdescribed amendment cannot be given effect as intended, the amendment is not incorporated and “(md not incorp)” is added to the amendment history.
