Notice of Withdrawal

Sales Tax Ruling SST 9 is withdrawn with effect from today.

1. Sales Tax Ruling SST 9 sets out how the sales tax law applies where a retention of title clause (also known as a reservation of title clause and in this Ruling it is referred to as a Romalpa clause) is included in a contract of sale of goods. The Ruling also provides a lower cost alternative method for accounting for sales tax in returns where goods are sold under contracts which include a Romalpa clause.

2. The goods and services tax came into effect from 1 July 2000. Sales tax ceased to apply to transactions from that date.

3. This Ruling is no longer current and does not apply to transactions occurring on or after 1 July 2000.
