Division 71 - Fringe benefits provided by input taxed suppliers  

71-10   Importations by input taxed suppliers to provide fringe benefits  

(1)    

An importation that solely or partly relates to making supplies that are * input taxed is not a * creditable importation if:

(a) the importation would (but for this section) be an importation of a kind referred to in paragraph 149A(2)(b) of the Fringe Benefits Tax Assessment Act 1986 ; and

(b) the importation specifically relates to the provision of a particular benefit (within the meaning of that Act) in respect of which * fringe benefits tax is or will be payable.

(2)    

However, this section does not apply to an importation if:

(a) the only reason it relates to making supplies that are * input taxed is because it relates to making * financial supplies ; and

(b) you do not * exceed the financial acquisitions threshold .

(3)    
This section has effect despite section 15-5 (which is about what is a creditable importation).
