(b) you have requested a decision under this subsection in the *approved form.
Note:
Refusing to make the requested decision is a reviewable GST decision (see Subdivision 110-F in Schedule 1 to the Taxation Administration Act 1953 ).

The Commissioner must notify you in writing of any decision relating to you made under subsection (1).

Note:
If you reimburse the passed-on GST, you will be refunded an equivalent amount as described in section 155-75 in Schedule 1 to the Taxation Administration Act 1953 .
