Tax office ruling re EPF and GST

Date published : 1  November  2010 

DEEWR advise that they have been recently provided new guidance by the ATO that reimbursement transaction is a separate taxable supply under GST legislation, DEEWR will rectify this issue through further payments to the Job Services Australia provider. These payments will reimburse the outstanding additional GST amounts for reimbursement transactions made in the 1 July 2009 to 30 June 2010 financial year as required under GST legislation. DEEWR will reimburse additional amounts for separate taxable supplies to Job Services Australia providers once a system change is implemented to process these reimbursements automatically. This is planned to occur in November 2010.
