40-5.10 Incidental financial supplies

(c) it is the usual practice of the entity to supply the thing, or similar things, and the financial supply together in the ordinary course of the entity's enterprise.

Note Regulation 40-5.12 applies subject to this regulation. As a result, if something is both an incidental financial supply and within the scope of an item in the table in regulation 40-5.12, it will still be a financial supply.
