View history reference

(1)    
The amount of a * decreasing adjustment that you have under section 21-5 , relating to a * taxable supply that is * taxable at less than 1/11 of the price , is worked out under this section and not under section 21-5 .

(2)    
This is how to work out the amount: Method statement

Step 1.

Work out the amount of GST (if any) that was payable on the supply, taking into account any previous * adjustments for the supply. This amount is the previous GST amount .

Step 2.

Add together:

(a) the amount or amounts written off as bad from the debt to which the decreasing adjustment relates; and

(b) the amount of the debt that has been * overdue for 12 months or more (other than amounts already written off).

Step 3.

Subtract the step 2 amount from the * price of the supply.

Step 4.

Work out the amount of GST (if any), taking into account any previous * adjustments for the supply (but not adjustments relating to bad debts or debts overdue), that would be payable on the supply if the * price of the supply were the step 3 amount. This amount of GST is the adjusted GST amount .

Step 5.

Subtract the adjusted GST amount from the previous GST amount.
