4.(1) Where, in a tax period before you know the total consideration, an invoice is issued relating to a taxable supply which states an amount of consideration and:

- no consideration is received for the supply in that tax period - the GST on the supply is attributable to that tax period but only to the extent of the amount of the consideration stated in the invoice; or
- (b)
- consideration is received for the supply in that tax period - the GST on the supply is attributable to that tax period but only to the extent:
- (i)
- where the consideration received is less than or equal to the amount of the consideration stated in the invoice - the amount of consideration stated in the invoice; or
- (ii)

(2) Where, in a tax period before you know the total consideration, an invoice is not issued relating to the supply and:
