Overview

The A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Act 1999 Classes of Recipient Created Tax Invoice Determination (No. 28) 2000, as amended, was enacted to address the specific needs of coal mining companies in relation to the issuance of tax invoices for workers' compensation insurance cover. This legislative instrument was made under subsection 29-70(3) of the A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Act 1999 and subsection 4(1) of the Acts Interpretation Act 1901. The determination allows coal mining companies, as recipients of taxable supplies, to issue tax invoices for workers' compensation insurance cover when they establish the value of the supply rather than the supplier, provided they meet certain conditions. The policy objective is to ensure compliance with GST requirements while allowing flexibility for specific industries, thereby streamlining tax invoicing processes for those involved. The determination is applied by the Commissioner of Taxation and specifies requirements that must be satisfied by the recipient to issue a valid tax invoice, including having a written agreement with the supplier or an embedded agreement within the tax invoice itself.

Scope and Application

This legislative instrument pertains to the A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Act 1999, specifically addressing the classes of recipient created tax invoices that may be issued by a recipient. This determination applies to entities not previously determined as capable of issuing tax invoices belonging to classes of tax invoices that may be issued by a recipient, particularly coal mining companies. These companies, as recipients of taxable supplies, may issue tax invoices for supplies of workers' compensation insurance cover under certain conditions. The key requirements include both parties being registered for GST, the recipient setting out the supplier's ABN in the tax invoice, timely issuance of the original or a copy of the tax invoice and adjustment notes to the supplier, compliance with taxation laws, and having a current and effective written agreement or an embedded agreement in the tax invoice specifying the supplies to which it relates. The determination also includes provisions for amendments and updates, such as the Recipient Created Tax Invoice – Embedded Agreement Amending Legislative Instrument 2009, which came into effect on 1 July 2009. This legislative instrument, in force under subsection 29-70(3) of the A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Act 1999, applies nationally and does not revoke or vary any previous determinations made by the Commissioner.

Key Provisions

The A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Act 1999 Classes of Recipient Created Tax Invoice Determination (No. 28) 2000 (as amended) provides specific conditions under which a recipient, in this case a coal mining company, can issue a tax invoice for supplies they receive, rather than the supplier issuing the invoice. This determination applies to entities that have not been previously determined as capable of issuing such tax invoices (Section 3). For example, a coal mining company receiving a taxable supply can issue a tax invoice for workers' compensation insurance cover if they establish the value of the supply and meet certain criteria (Section 4). The key requirements for a recipient to issue a tax invoice include ensuring both the supplier and recipient are registered for GST at the time the invoice is issued (Section 5(a)), including the supplier's ABN on the invoice (Section 5(b)), issuing the invoice or a copy within 28 days of making or determining the value of the supply and retaining a copy (Section 5(c)), and similarly issuing and retaining a copy of any adjustment notes (Section 5(d)). The recipient must also comply with their obligations under the taxation laws (Section 5(f)) and either have a written agreement with the supplier or an embedded agreement within the tax invoice itself (Section 5(f)(i)-(iv)). Additionally, the recipient must not issue an invoice if either party fails to comply with the requirements of this determination (Section 5(g)). Failure to comply with the obligations imposed by this determination may result in various consequences. The primary consequence is the inability to issue a valid recipient created tax invoice (RCTI). Other potential penalties or consequences are not explicitly detailed in this determination but may include general GST compliance penalties as outlined in the A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Act 1999. The maximum penalties for GST-related offences can vary, but they can include substantial fines and, in some cases, imprisonment. The specifics of any penalties would depend on the nature and severity of the breach as well as other applicable laws.
