The fact that the supply to you is not a * taxable supply does not stop the acquisition being a * creditable acquisition .
(3)
However, the acquisition is not a *creditable acquisition:
(a) to the extent (if any) that:
(i) the employee, *associate, agent, *officer or partner is entitled to an input tax credit for acquiring the thing acquired in incurring the expense; or
(ii) the acquisition would not, because of Division 69 , be a creditable acquisition if you made it; or
(b) unless the supply of the thing acquired, by the employee, associate, agent, officer or partner in incurring the expense, was a taxable supply; or
(c) if you would, because of Division 71 , not have been entitled to an input tax credit if you had made the acquisition that the employee, associate, agent, officer or partner made.
(3AA)
In working out the extent to which a person is entitled to an input tax credit for the purposes of paragraph (3)(a), disregard sections 131-40 and 131-50 (which are about amounts of input tax credits under the annual apportionment rules).
(3A)
If you are a * partnership , this section does not apply to your reimbursement of a partner for an expense he or she incurs if, even without this Division applying, you are entitled to an input tax credit arising from the incurring of the expense.
(4)
This section has effect despite section 11-5 (which is about what is a creditable acquisition).
