Division 16 - GST groups and GST joint ventures
16-1 What this Division is about
The representative member of a GST group deals with all of the luxury car tax liabilities and entitlements of the group. The joint venture operator of a GST joint venture deals with the luxury car tax liabilities and entitlements arising from the operator's dealings on behalf of the other participants in the joint venture.
Subdivision 16-A - Members of GST groups
16-5 Who is liable for luxury car tax
(1) Luxury car tax payable on a *taxable supply of a luxury car, or a *taxable importation of a luxury car, for which a *member of a *GST group would (apart from this section) be liable:
(a) is payable by the *representative member; and
(b) is not payable by the member that would otherwise be liable (unless the member is the representative member).
(2) However, if the member is not the *representative member of the *GST group, this section only applies to luxury car tax payable on a *taxable importation of a luxury car if the tax is payable at a time when luxury car tax on *taxable supplies of luxury cars is normally payable by the representative member.
(3) This section has effect despite sections 5-5 and 7-5 (which are about liability for luxury car tax).
16-10 Luxury car tax adjustments
(1) Any *luxury car tax adjustment that a *member of a *GST group has is to be treated as if:
(a) that member did not have the adjustment (unless that member is the *representative member); and
(b) the representative member had the adjustment.
(2) This section has effect despite section 13-10 (which is about the effect of luxury car tax adjustments on net amounts).
Subdivision 16-B - Participants in GST joint ventures
16-15 Who is liable for luxury car tax
(1) Luxury car tax payable on a *taxable supply of a luxury car, or a *taxable importation of a luxury car, that the *joint venture operator of a *GST joint venture makes, on behalf of another *participant in the joint venture, in the course of activities for which the joint venture was entered into:
(a) is payable by the joint venture operator; and
(b) is not payable by the other participant.
(2) This section has effect despite sections 5-5 and 7-5 (which are about liability for luxury car tax).

(1) Any *luxury car tax adjustment relating to any supply or *importation that the *joint venture operator of a *GST joint venture makes, on behalf of another *participant in the joint venture, in the course of activities for which the joint venture was entered into is to be treated as if:
(a) the other participant did not have the adjustment; and
(b) the joint venture operator had the adjustment.
(2) This section has effect despite section 13-10 (which is about the effect of *luxury car tax adjustments on net amounts).
16-25 Additional net amounts relating to GST joint ventures
The additional net amount relating to a *GST joint venture in section 51-45 of the *GST Act:
(a) is increased by the amount of any luxury car tax on *taxable supplies of luxury cars for which the *joint venture operator is liable because of section 16-15; and
