Input Tax Credit (ITC) Entitlement
You must answer this question in relation to any entitlement to claim back the Goods & Services Tax (GST) component of the CTP premium. Under the Commonwealth GST Law*, this is known as an "Input Tax Credit" (ITC). Guidance on how to respond to the question is provided below, however if you are unsure you should consult your accountant or the Australian Taxation Office about your particular circumstances.
Step 1 Is this vehicle used for business purposes (including Government and non-profit organisations)?
- If Yes - continue with Step 2,
- If No - return to the transaction, answer NO to the question and pay the lower "No ITC
Entitlement" total fee (if offered) for the selected renewal period.
Step 2 Is the Registered Owner of this vehicle registered (or required to be registered) for GST?
- If Yes - continue with Step 3,
- If No - return to the transaction, answer NO to the question and pay the lower "No ITC
Entitlement" total fee (if offered) for the selected renewal period.
Step 3 Is the Registered Owner of this vehicle entitled to claim an ITC in relation to the CTP Premium?
- If Yes - return to the transaction, answer YES to the question and pay the higher "ITC
Entitled" total fee (if offered) for the selected renewal period.
- If No - return to the transaction, answer NO to the question and pay the lower "No ITC
Entitlement" total fee (if offered) for the selected renewal period.
If you have answered YES to all 3 questions, you must answer YES and pay the 'ITC Entitled' fee (if offered). Upon payment of any 'ITC Entitled' fee, or standard fee where alternative fees are not offered, a Tax Invoice will automatically be provided with your Certificate of Registration.
The "No ITC Entitlement" fee is only available where the vehicle is NOT used for any purpose that entitles the owner to an ITC.
Payment of the incorrect premium may incur a penalty of up to $250.
This penalty is in addition to any premium differential payable.
In addition, if the incorrect premium is paid this constitutes a breach of the Policy of Insurance. Section 124A(2) of the Motor Vehicles Act 1959 allows the insurer, by action in a court of competent jurisdiction, to recover from the insured person a portion of the money paid or costs incurred by the insurer in respect of the liability incurred by the insured person. Accordingly, use of the vehicle otherwise than for the purposes stated in your application renders you liable to recovery action in the event that a claim on your policy is paid by the insurer. The insurer considers that an amount of 10% of the money paid or costs incurred by the insurer to be a just and reasonable amount and will accept that sum as settlement of its claim under section 124A(2) of the Motor Vehicles Act 1959.
- *GST Law means the Commonwealth legislation: A New Tax System (Goods and
Services Tax) Act 1999.
