Chapter 2 - Collection, recovery and administration of income taxNote: A Commissioner ' s Remedial Power (CRP 2017/1) is relevant to this part of the tax law. Taxation Administration (Remedial Power - Foreign Resident Capital Gains Withholding) Determination 2017 (F2017L00992) modifies the operation of s 18-15 , 18-20 and 18-25 in Sch 1 to the Taxation Administration Act 1953 as follows:
To the extent that an entity ' s entitlement to a credit referred to in s 18-15 , 18-20 or 18-25 in Sch 1 to TAA is in respect of an amount paid to the Commissioner under Subdiv 14-D of Sch 1 to TAA, treat the entitlement as arising in the income year in which the transaction causing that application of Subdiv 14-D is recognised for income tax purposes for the entity. The modification applies in respect of transactions entered into on or after 1 July 2016.
An entity must treat a modification as not applying to it or any other entity if the modification would produce a less favourable result for it. The Commissioner is empowered by s 370-5 of Sch 1 to TAA to make modifications, by legislative instrument, to ensure the law is administered to achieve its intended purpose or object.
An entity (the recipient ) may apply, in the *approved form, to the Commissioner for the refund of an amount if:
(a) another entity (the payer ) has made a payment under section 14-250 , or purportedly under that section, in relation to a supply by the recipient; and
(b) the payment, or part of the payment, was made in error.
18-85(2)
The application must be made no later than 14 days before the day on which *GST is payable on the supply.
18-85(3)
The amount of the refund that the recipient may apply for is an amount equal to the amount of the payment, or the part of the payment that was made in error, as the case requires.
18-85(4)
The Commissioner must refund the amount under subsection (3) if the Commissioner is satisfied that paragraphs (1)(a) and (b) apply and that it would be fair and reasonable to refund the amount, having regard to:
(a) the circumstances that gave rise to the obligation (if any) to make the payment under section 14-250 ; and
(b) the nature of the error; and
(c) any other matter the Commissioner considers relevant.
