  • The vehicle cost $180,000 and GST credits were claimed on the car limit. GST on the contract was $13,374
  • Running expenses, depreciation (up to the limit) and so on have been claimed at 80% business use in the partnership tax return
  • The vehicle has been owned for 15 months
  • The written-down value of the vehicle is $155,000 on the date business use ceased
  • The market value of the vehicle is $140,000 on the date business use creased.

What is the GST consequence on the transfer of the vehicle out of the business?

 

A: Under GST Act s 129-70, the GST consequences of this change in use would be an increasing adjustment, the formula is:

Full ITC * (former application- actual application)

Full ITC refers to the full amount of the input tax credits that could have been claimed (1/11th of the luxury car limit); Former application is 80%, actual application is 0%.

Note, since full input tax credits were not claimed initially, the adjustment in s 130-5 does not apply;

If the vehicle is transferred out of the business, this would amount to a taxable supply that would attract GST of 1/11th of the selling price.
