Recipient Created Tax Invoice – Embedded Agreement
Amending Legislative Instrument 2009
 
I, Shane Reardon, make this determination under subsection 29-70(3) of the A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Act 1999.
 
1.                  Name of Determination
This determination is the Recipient Created Tax Invoice – Embedded Agreement Amending Legislative Instrument 2009.
2.                  Commencement
This determination commences on 1 July 2009.
3.                  Application
This determination only applies to the determinations listed in tables 1 and 2 below, and does so only with effect from the commencement of this determination:
4.                        What this Determination does
(1) By this determination:
(a)    an agreement embedded in a tax invoice that the recipient of a supply issues will be an alternative to a written agreement for the purposes of the RCTI determinations. Because some of the determinations that are in force refer to a recipient indemnifying the supplier for GST and penalty, and some do not, this determination is effected in two ways.
Table 1 below, lists those RCTI determinations that do not refer to a recipient indemnifying the supplier for GST and penalty.
Table 2 below, lists those RCTI determinations that do refer to a recipient indemnifying the supplier for GST and penalty.
(b)    in relation to the instruments in Table 1 below, subparagraph 4(f) or 5(f) of the instruments, as indicated in the second column of the table, referring to requirements that must be met in respect of written agreements, is replaced with the following:
The recipient must have either:
·         a written agreement with the supplier specifying the supplies to which it relates, that is current and effective when the RCTI is issued, agreeing that:
(i)                  the recipient can issue tax invoices in respect of the supplies;
(ii)                the supplier will not issue tax invoices in respect of the supplies;
(iii)               the supplier acknowledges that it is registered for GST when it enters into the agreement and that it will notify the recipient if it ceases to be registered;  and
(iv)              the recipient acknowledges that it is registered when it enters into the agreement and that it will notify the supplier if it ceases to be registered for GST;  or
·         an agreement with the supplier embedded in an RCTI it issues that contains the following statement:
The recipient and the supplier declare that this agreement applies to supplies to which this tax invoice relates. The recipient can issue tax invoices in respect of these supplies. The supplier will not issue tax invoices in respect of these supplies. The supplier acknowledges that it is registered for GST and that it will notify the recipient if it ceases to be registered. The recipient acknowledges that it is registered for GST and that it will notify the supplier if it ceases to be registered for GST. Acceptance of this RCTI constitutes acceptance of the terms of this written agreement.
 
Both parties to this supply agree that they are parties to an RCTI agreement. The supplier agrees to notify the recipient if the supplier does not wish to accept the proposed agreement within 21 days of receiving this document.
