Addendum
This Addendum is a public ruling for the purposes of the Taxation Administration Act 1953. It amends Goods and Services Tax Ruling GSTR 2002/2 to clarify that where a financial supply does not involve the supply of an interest, the ordinary meaning of 'financial supply provider' and 'financial supply facilitator' applies.
GSTR 2002/2 is amended as follows:
Omit 'and 11 December 2013'; substitute ', 11 December 2013 and 20 August 2014'.
In the first sentence, after the words 'disposal of a financial interest' insert:
22A A financial supply may also include a supply that is designated as such and does not involve the supply of an interest, such as a supply of specified ATM services in subregulation 40-5.09(4A). The expression 'supply' used in this ruling also applies to such financial supplies.
After the paragraph, insert
106A. Where the financial supply does not involve the supply of an interest, the ordinary meaning of 'financial supply provider' applies. The financial supply provider is the entity that makes the financial supply. See paragraphs 651A and 651B of GSTR 2004/1 for an example involving Item 27 and a financial supply of ATM services.
After the paragraph, insert:
261A. When a financial supply does not involve the supply of an interest, the ordinary meaning of 'financial supply facilitator' applies. The financial supply facilitator is the entity that facilitates the financial supply for the entity making the financial supply.
This Addendum applies on and from 20 August 2014.
