4 | The amount that is the total of the following, so far as each of them is attributable to GST: (a) payments under the GST refund provisions; (b) what was payable under the GST refund provisions and was (rather than being paid directly under those provisions) allocated, applied or refunded in accordance with Part IIB of the Taxation Administration Act 1953. | Subsection 6(4) of the Act | $65,698,836,125.75 |
