An Act about a tax, relating to certain alcoholic beverages, to implement A New Tax System, and for related purposes

 1 Introduction 1 Preliminary
1-1 Short title

This Act may be cited as the A New Tax System (Wine Equalisation Tax) Act 1999.
1-2 Commencement

This Act commences on 1 July 2000.
1-3 How the wine tax law applies to things outside the indirect tax zone and things happening before commencement 1

The wine tax law extends to acts, omissions, matters and things outside Australia (within the meaning of the ITAA 1997) (except where a contrary intention appears).

 2

The wine tax law applies to acts and omissions happening before or after the commencement of this Act (except where there is an express statement to the contrary).
1-4 States and Territories are bound by the wine tax law

The wine tax law binds the Crown in right of each of the States, of the Australian Capital Territory and of the Northern Territory. However, it does not make the Crown liable to be prosecuted for an offence.
2 Overview of the wine tax legislation
2-1 What this Act is about

This Act is about the wine equalisation tax (or wine tax).

The wine tax is a single stage tax applying (in most cases) to dealings in wine at the wholesale level. In almost all dealings to which it applies, the GST will also apply.

Note 1: Wine is widely defined in Subdivision 31-A. It can apply to beverages fermented from any fruit or vegetable. It also extends to cider, perry, mead and sake.

Note 2: The wine tax is imposed by 3 Acts:

 a

(a) the A New Tax System (Wine Equalisation Tax Imposition—General) Act 1999; and

 b

(b) the A New Tax System (Wine Equalisation Tax Imposition—Customs) Act 1999; and

 c

(c) the A New Tax System (Wine Equalisation Tax Imposition—Excise) Act 1999.
2-5 Liability to tax (Part 2)

Part 2 sets out the rules that establish the liability for the wine tax. The broad aim of the wine tax law is to tax the last wholesale sale of wine (usually the sale from the last wholesaler to the retailer).
2-10 Quoting (Part 3)

Part 3 is about quoting. The system of quoting is designed to avoid wine tax becoming payable on earlier sales.
2-15 Wine tax credits (Part 4)

Part 4 is about the entitlement to, and claiming of, wine tax credits. The system of wine tax credits deals (among other things) with situations where wine tax has become payable more than once on the same wine.
2-20 Payment of wine tax (Part 5)

Part 5 provides for amounts of wine tax, and wine tax credits, to be included in net amounts under the GST system. This has the effect of incorporating the wine tax into the payments and refunds system for the GST. However, the assessed wine tax is paid together with customs duty (where appropriate).
2-25 Miscellaneous (Part 6)

Part 6 deals with miscellaneous matters.
2-30 Interpretative provisions (Part 7)

Part 7 contains the Dictionary, which sets out a list of all the terms that are defined in this Act. It also sets out the meanings of some important concepts and rules on how to interpret this Act.
2-33 Administration, collection and recovery provisions in the Taxation Administration Act 1953

Parts 3-10, 4-1 and 4-15 in Schedule 1 to the Taxation Administration Act 1953 contain provisions relating to the administration of the wine tax, and to collection and recovery of amounts of wine tax.
3 Defined terms
3-1 When defined terms are identified 1

Many of the terms used in the law relating to the wine tax are defined.

 2

Most defined terms in this Act are identified by an asterisk appearing at the start of the term: as in “taxable dealing”. The footnote that goes with the asterisk contains a signpost to the Dictionary definitions starting at section 33-1.
3-5 When terms are not identified 1

(1) Once a defined term has been identified by an asterisk, later occurrences of the term in the same subsection are not usually asterisked.

 2

(2) Terms are not asterisked in the non-operative material contained in this Act.

Note: The non-operative material is described in Division 4.

 3

(3) The following basic terms used throughout the Act are not identified with an asterisk.
Common definitions that are not asterisked Common definitions that are not asterisked
Item This term:
1 amount
2 Commissioner
3 entity
3A indirect tax zone
5 wine
6 wine tax
7 you
3-10 Identifying the defined term in a definition

Within a definition, the defined term is identified by bold italics.
4 Status of Guides and other non-operative material
4-1 Non-operative material

In addition to the operative provisions themselves, this Act contains other material to help you identify accurately and quickly the provisions that are relevant to you and to help you understand them.

This other material falls into 2 main categories.
4-5 Explanatory sections

One category is the explanatory section in many Divisions. Under the section heading “What this Division is about”, a short explanation of the Division appears in boxed text.

Explanatory sections form part of this Act but are not operative provisions. In interpreting an operative provision, explanatory sections may only be considered for limited purposes. They are set out in section 29-10.
4-10 Other material

The other category consists of material such as notes and examples. These also form part of the Act. They are distinguished by type size from the operative provisions (except for formulas), but are not kept separate from them.
2 Wine tax 5 General rules for taxability
5-1 What this Division is about

Liability for wine tax centres around the concept of an assessable dealing. This concept is defined in the Assessable Dealings Table and the sections following the table.
5-5 General rules for taxing assessable dealings 1

The Assessable Dealings Table sets out all the *assessable dealings that can be subject to wine tax.

 2

If the time of an assessable dealing (as specified in column 4 of the table) is on or after 1 July 2000, and no exemption applies under Division 7, then:

 a

the dealing is a taxable dealing; and

 b

the entity specified in column 3 is the entity liable to the tax; and

 c

the tax becomes payable at the time of the dealing, as specified in column 4.

However, an assessable dealing (other than a customs dealing) is a taxable dealing only if the entity specified in column 3 is registered or required to be registered.

Note: Under Part 5, amounts of wine tax, on assessable dealings (other than customs dealings), are included in your net amount under the GST system.

 3

To calculate the amount of the tax:

 a

determine the taxable value of the dealing under Division 9; and

 b

multiply the result by 29%.

Note: The amount of tax is reduced for some importations (e.g. accompanied baggage of passengers) that are free of customs duty (see section 5-40).

 4

The table does not apply to a dealing with wine unless the wine is assessable wine immediately before the time of the dealing, and is in the indirect tax zone at the time of the dealing.

Note: The numbering of items in the table uses the following pattern:

For Australian wine, the dealings are divided into 4 groups:

wholesale sales begin with AD1

retail sales begin with AD2

an AOU begins with AD3

miscellaneous dealings begin with AD4.

Imported wine has an additional class of local entry (AD10). The other dealings with imported wine have a number that is 10 higher than the broadly corresponding dealing with Australian wine. For example, AD12b for imported wine corresponds to AD2b for Australian wine.
5-10 Sale time brought forward if purchaser uses the wine before title passes 1

This section applies to an assessable dealing that consists of a sale, if the purchaser uses the wine after the time when the contract is made but before the time when title is to pass to the purchaser under the contract.

 2

The time when the purchaser first so uses the wine is taken to be the time of the sale for the purposes of the wine tax law.
5-15 Royalty-inclusive sale (AD2c and AD12c) or AOU (AD3d and AD13d) 1

(1) A *retail sale, or an *AOU, of wine (the current wine) by you in the course of a business is a royalty-inclusive sale or a royalty-inclusive AOU respectively if the following conditions are met:

 a

*eligible royalty costs have been incurred at or before the time of the sale or AOU, or could reasonably be expected to be incurred after the time of the sale or AOU, by any or all of the following:

 i

you;

 ii

your associate;

 iii

any entity (other than the manufacturer) under an arrangement with you or with your associate;

 b

the sale or AOU is not covered by another category of assessable dealing in the Assessable Dealings Table.

 2

(2) Eligible royalty cost is a *royalty that is paid or payable in connection with the current wine, except where the amount was paid or payable by any entity before 24 March 1999.
5-20 Indirect marketing sale (AD2d and AD12d)

A sale of *assessable wine is an indirect marketing sale if it is a *retail sale made by an entity (the marketer) that is not the *manufacturer of the wine and the sale is made:

 a

under an arrangement that provides for the sale of the wine to be made by an entity that is acting for the marketer but is not an employee of the marketer; or

 b

from premises that:

 i

are used, mainly for making retail sales of wine, by an entity or entities other than the marketer; and

 ii

are held out to be premises of, or premises used by, the other entity or entities.
5-25 Untaxed sale (AD2e and AD12e) or AOU (AD3a and AD13a) 1

(1) A *retail sale of wine by you is an untaxed sale unless:

 a

you *obtained the wine under quote; or

 b

the wine has previously passed through a taxing point; or

 c

the sale is an indirect marketing sale.

 2

(2) An *AOU, in the course of any business, by you is an untaxed AOU unless:

 a

you *obtained the wine under quote; or

 b

the wine has previously passed through a taxing point.

 3

For the purposes of this section, wine is taken to have passed through a taxing point only if:

 a

the wine has been the subject of a taxable dealing; or

 b

the wine has been the subject of an assessable dealing that was exempted because you could not be taxed or were entitled to an exemption arising outside the wine tax law; or

 c

(c) the wine has been the subject of sales tax within the meaning of the former Sales Tax Assessment Act 1992; or

 d

(d) Sales Tax Amendment (Transitional) Act 1992 applies to the wine (whether or not the wine would, but for that section, have been subject to sales tax under the former Sales Tax Assessment Act 1992).section 5 of the former

Note: Section 5 ensured that goods subject to sales tax under the pre-1992 sales tax law were not also taxable under the 1992 sales tax law.
5-30 Local entry of imported wine (AD10) 1

The Local Entry Table sets out the situations that amount to a local entry of imported wine for the purposes of the wine tax law. The rest of this section deals with situations involving the withdrawal of a customs entry, or multiple local entries of the same wine.

 2

(2) The withdrawal of the customs entry underlying a formal local entry (the earlier local entry) usually has the effect that the earlier local entry is taken never to have happened. However, if:

 a

there is a later formal local entry after the withdrawal; and

 b

the tax on that later entry would be less than the tax on the earlier local entry;

then the earlier local entry is taken never to have been extinguished and the later entry is taken never to have happened.

 3

If a formal local entry happens after a deemed local entry, the formal local entry is taken never to have happened.

 4

If a deemed local entry happens after a formal local entry, the formal local entry is taken never to have happened.

 5

In this section:

customs entry means an entry for home consumption under the Customs Act 1901.

deemed local entry means a local entry that is not a formal local entry.

In some circumstances, a dealing with wine is exempt from wine tax even if it is an assessable dealing.
7-5 Exemption for dealings that are GST-free supplies or non-taxable importations

An assessable dealing is not taxable if the dealing is:

 a

 2

(2) To avoid doubt, a reference to wine that is covered by an item in Schedule 4 to the *Customs Tariff includes a reference to goods to which that item would apply apart from the operation of subsection 18(1) of the Customs Tariff Act 1995.
7-20 Exemption for local entry if wine has been taxed while in bond

A *local entry of wine is not taxable if you or anyone else became liable to tax on a previous *assessable dealing with the wine while it was in bond or under customs control under the Customs Act 1901.
7-25 Goods returned to the indirect tax zone in an unaltered condition 1

A local entry of wine is not taxable if:

 a

the wine was exported from the indirect tax zone and is returned to the indirect tax zone, without having been subject to any treatment, industrial processing, alteration or any other process since its export; and

 c

the importer:

 i

is the manufacturer of the wine; or

 ii

Note: An importation covered by this section may also be duty-free under item 17 of Schedule 4 to the Customs Tariff Act 1995.
9 Taxable value
9-1 What this Division is about

In most cases, the taxable value of an assessable dealing is multiplied by the rate of wine tax to calculate the amount of wine tax.
9-A General rules for working out taxable value
9-5 How to work out the taxable value of a taxable dealing 1

(1) The general rules for calculating the taxable value are set out in the *Assessable Dealings Table.

 2

In some cases, the Assessable Dealings Table refers to the notional wholesale selling price as the taxable value. Subdivision 9-B sets out how to work out the notional wholesale selling price.

 3

In some cases, amounts must be added to the amount set out in the Assessable Dealings Table. These additions are set out in Subdivision 9-C.

 4

In working out the taxable value of wine, any rebate, refund or other payment or credit made by a State or Territory in respect of the wine is to be disregarded.
9-10 Agreement with Commissioner regarding calculation of taxable value 1

The Commissioner may enter into an agreement with you about calculating the *taxable values of particular *taxable dealings for which you are liable for the wine tax.

 2

So far as the agreement is inconsistent with this Act, the agreement prevails.
9-B Notional wholesale selling price
9-25 The 2 methods of working out notional wholesale selling prices for retail dealings with grape wine 1

(1) There are 2 methods for working out the notional wholesale selling price for a *taxable dealing that is either:

 a

a retail sale of grape wine; or

 b

an AOU connected with retail sales of wine that is grape wine.

 2

The *half retail price method is used unless you have chosen under subsection (3) to use the *average wholesale price method.

 3

You may choose to use the *average wholesale price method if, during the tax period in respect of which you are liable to pay wine tax on the dealing, at least 10% by value of all your sales of grape wine that:

 a

is of the same vintage as the grape wine to which the dealing relates; and

 b

is produced from the same grape varieties, or the same blend of grape varieties, as the grape wine to which the dealing relates;

are *wholesale sales.
9-30 Working out notional wholesale selling prices for retail dealings with wine that is not grape wine

The notional wholesale selling price for a *taxable dealing that is either:

 a

a retail sale of wine that is not grape wine; or

 b

an AOU connected with retail sales of wine that is not grape wine;

is worked out using the *half retail price method.
9-35 The half retail price method 1

(1) The notional wholesale selling price for a *retail sale of *grape wine, worked out using the half retail price method, is 50% of the *price of the sale.

 2

(2) The notional wholesale selling price for an *AOU connected with retail sales of grape wine, worked out using the half retail price method, is 50% of the *price for which you would normally have sold the wine if the sale were a *retail sale.
9-40 The average wholesale price method

The notional wholesale selling price for a *retail sale of *grape wine, or for an *AOU connected with retail sales of grape wine, worked out using the average wholesale price method is the weighted average of the *prices (excluding wine tax and *GST) for *wholesale sales that you have made of grape wine that:

 a

is of the same vintage as the grape wine to which the retail sale or AOU relates; and

 b

is produced from the same grape varieties, or the same blend of grape varieties, as the grape wine to which the retail sale or AOU relates;

during the tax period in respect of which you are liable to pay wine tax on the retail sale or AOU.

Example: If, during a tax period, you make 70% of wholesale sales of grape wine of a particular vintage and variety at $80 per dozen, and the remaining 30% at $90 per dozen, the weighted average of the wholesale prices for wholesale sales during the tax period is:
9-45 Notional wholesale selling prices for other dealings

The notional wholesale selling price for a taxable dealing with wine that is neither:

 a

a retail sale of wine; nor

 b

an AOU connected with retail sales of wine;

is the price (excluding wine tax and GST) for which you could reasonably have been expected to sell the wine by wholesale under an arm’s length transaction.
9-C Additions to taxable value
9-65 Taxable dealing with wine that is the contents of a container 1

(1) This section deals with situations in which a *container is associated with wine (the contents) that is the subject of a *taxable dealing. The aim of this section is to ensure that the *taxable value will include a component for the container, even though the parties may have allocated a separate amount to the container.

 2

If:

 a

the taxable value of the dealing is calculated by reference to the price (excluding wine tax and GST) for which the contents were sold; and

 b

the parties have allocated a separate amount to the *container;

then the taxable value is *increased by so much of the value of the container as is recouped by the seller in connection with the sale of the contents.

 3

If the taxable value of the dealing is not calculated as mentioned in subsection (2), then the taxable value is *increased by so much of the value of the *container as could reasonably be expected to have been recouped by you in connection with a hypothetical sale of the contents at the time of the actual taxable dealing with the contents.
9-70 Assessable dealings with wine that involve the payment of an associated royalty 1

If a royalty is paid or payable, or likely to be paid or payable, in connection with any of the following events in respect of particular wine:

 a

the manufacture of the wine;

 b

the *importation or local entry of the wine;

 c

a sale of the wine;

then the taxable value of any taxable dealing with that wine that happens at or after that event includes the amount or value of the royalty.

 2

(2) Royalty is any amount to the extent to which it is paid or payable (whether or not periodically) as consideration for any of the following things (or for the right to do them):

 a

doing anything that would be an infringement of copyright if it were done without the licence of the copyright owner;

 b

(b) making, using, exercising or vending an invention (each of those terms having the meaning it has in the Patents Act 1990);

 c

(c) using a design that is of a kind capable of being registered under the Designs Act 2003 (whether or not it is registered under that Act or under any other law);

 d

(d) using a trade mark that is of a kind capable of being registered under the Trade Marks Act 1995 (whether or not it is registered under that Act or under any other law), but not including a mark that relates to a service;

 e

using confidential information;

 f

using machinery, implements, apparatus or other equipment;

 g

*supplying scientific, technical, industrial, commercial or other knowledge or information;

 h

supplying assistance that is ancillary to, and is supplied as a means of enabling the application or enjoyment of, any matter covered by paragraphs (a) to (g);

 i

a total or partial forbearance in respect of any matter covered by paragraphs (a) to (h).

Terms used in paragraph (a) of this definition have the same meaning as in the Copyright Act 1968.
9-75 Assessable dealing with wine in bond

If a *taxable dealing happens while the wine is in bond or otherwise subject to customs control under the Customs Act 1901, the *taxable value is *increased by the amount of *customs duty to which the wine would have been subject if it had been entered for home consumption under the Customs Act 1901 at the time of the taxable dealing.
9-80 Amounts not to be added if they are already included in the taxable value

This Subdivision does not add any amount to the taxable value so far as it would already be included in the taxable value.
3 Quoting 13 Quoting for dealings in wine
13-1 What this Division is about

In certain circumstances you can quote for a dealing with wine. This is designed to avoid the wine tax becoming payable on sales preceding the last wholesale sale. (Under section 7-10, wine tax is not payable on a sale for which the purchaser has quoted.)
13-5 Standard grounds for quoting ABN 1

You are entitled to quote your ABN for a dealing with wine if, at the time of quoting, you have the intention of dealing with the wine in any of the following ways:

 a

selling the wine by *wholesale, or by indirect marketing sale, while the wine is in the indirect tax zone;

 b

selling the wine, by any kind of sale, while it is in the indirect tax zone (this ground is available only if you are mainly a wholesaler at the time of quoting);

 c

using the wine as a material in manufacture or other treatment or processing, whether or not it relates to or results in other wine;

 d

making a supply of the wine that will be GST-free.

 2

However, you are not entitled to quote unless you are registered.

 3

For the purposes of paragraph (1)(b), you are mainly a wholesaler at the quoting time only if:

 a

*wholesale sales and *indirect marketing sales account for more than half of the total value of all sales of assessable wine by you during the 12 months ending at the quoting time; or

 b

you have an expectation (based on reasonable grounds) that wholesale sales and indirect marketing sales will account for more than half of the total value of all sales of assessable wine by you during the 12 months starting at the quoting time.

For this purpose, the value of a sale of wine is the price for which the wine is sold.
13-10 Additional quoting grounds in special circumstances

The Commissioner may (if you are registered) authorise you to quote your ABN in special circumstances in which you would not otherwise be entitled to quote.
13-15 Periodic quoting 1

(1) You may make a periodic *quote under this section for purchases that you propose to make from an entity (the supplier) during the period, not exceeding 12 months, covered by the periodic quote.

 2

 3

If you are not entitled to quote for a particular purchase from the *supplier during the period, you must notify the supplier of that fact at or before the time of the purchase. The notification must be in the approved form.

 a

effective for the purposes of Subdivision 31-D; and

 b

effective for the purpose of section 7-10, unless section 13-30 applies.
13-30 Quote not effective for certain purposes if there are grounds for believing it was improperly made

A quote is not effective, so far as it would have resulted in an exemption, if at the time of the quote the entity to which the quote is made has reasonable grounds for believing that:

 a

you are not entitled to quote in the particular circumstances; or

 b

the quote is not made in the approved form; or

 c

the quote is false or misleading in a material particular (either because of something stated in the quote or something left out).
13-32 Quote not effective if entity to whom quote is made purchased the wine for a price that included wine tax

A quote is not effective for the purposes of applying subsection 7-10(1) to a particular sale if the entity to which the quote is made purchased the wine for a price that included wine tax.

 a

quote an ABN for the purposes of this Act:

Note: Refusing to approve an entity as a New Zealand participant is a reviewable wine tax decision (see Subdivision 111-C in Schedule 1 to the Taxation Administration Act 1953).

 7

An instrument of approval under subsection (3) and an instrument refusing approval under subsection (6) are not legislative instruments.
19-8 Revoking an approval as a New Zealand participant 1

If, at any time, the Commissioner becomes aware that you cease to satisfy the criteria for approval as a New Zealand participant, the Commissioner must, by written instrument, revoke your approval.

Note: Revoking under this subsection the approval of an entity as a New Zealand participant is a reviewable wine tax decision (see Subdivision 111-C in Schedule 1 to the Taxation Administration Act 1953).

 2

The Commissioner must decide the date of effect of that revocation and include that date in the instrument of revocation. That date may be the day of the decision, or a day before or after that day.

Note: Deciding under this subsection the date of effect of any revocation of an approval as a New Zealand participant is a reviewable wine tax decision (see Subdivision 111-C in Schedule 1 to the Taxation Administration Act 1953).

 3

If the Commissioner revokes your approval as a New Zealand participant, the Commissioner must, by notice in writing sent to you, inform you that the Commissioner has revoked your approval, indicate the date from which the revocation has effect and of the reasons for revoking that approval.

 4

An instrument of revocation under subsection (1) is not a legislative instrument.
19-9 Notification of changed circumstances 1

An entity approved as a New Zealand participant must notify the Commissioner in writing of any circumstances under which the Commissioner must revoke the approval. The notification must be given to the Commissioner within 21 days after the circumstances occurred.

 2

 1A

The amount of the *producer rebates to which you are entitled because of subsection 19-5(2) for the wine for the financial year is an amount equal to 29% of the approved selling price for the wine.

 1B

In working out the amount of the producer rebate to which you are entitled because of subsection 19-5(2), any component used to determine the approved selling price that is expressed in a currency other than Australian currency is to be treated as if it were an amount of Australian currency worked out in the manner determined, by legislative instrument, by the Commissioner.

 1C

In this section:

approved selling price, in relation to wine sold by a *New Zealand participant, means the participant’s selling price for the wine net of any expenses unrelated to the production of the wine in *New Zealand, including but not limited to:

 a

expenses relating to transportation, freight and insurance, agent’s fees and any other costs associated with exportation of the wine from New Zealand and importation of the wine into the indirect tax zone; and

 b

New Zealand and Australian taxes including customs duties.

 2

The maximum amount of *producer rebates to which a *producer is entitled for a financial year under this Division is $400,000.

 3

However, if the *producer is an associated producer of one or more other producers for a financial year, the maximum amount of *producer rebates to which those producers are entitled as a group for the financial year under this Division is $400,000.

Each *producer member of the group is jointly and severally liable to pay an amount equal to the excess. However, none of the individual producer members is liable to pay an amount that exceeds the sum of the amounts of *producer rebates that that producer claimed for the financial year.

 4

An amount payable under this section is to be treated as if it were wine tax payable at the end of the financial year, and, except in the case of a New Zealand participant, for the purposes of Part 5, were attributable to the last tax period of the financial year.

Note: The main effect of treating the amount as if it were wine tax is to apply the collection and recovery rules in Taxation Administration Act 1953.Part 3-10 in Schedule 1 to the

Table of Subdivisions

21-A General

21-B Members of GST groups

21-C Participants in GST joint ventures
21-1 What this Division is about

Wine tax (except wine tax on customs dealings) is added to net amounts under the GST Act. Wine tax credits are subtracted from those net amounts.

Note: Division 165 (Anti-avoidance) of the GST Act will cover avoidance schemes relating to wine tax so far as they affect net amounts, because such schemes affect amounts payable under the GST Act.
21-A General
21-5 Net amounts increased by amounts of wine tax 1

Your net amount for a tax period is *increased by the sum of all of the amounts of wine tax (if any) payable by you that are attributable to that tax period.

 2

However, this section does not apply to wine tax payable on *customs dealings.

Note: This section has the effect of incorporating your liability for the wine tax (other than wine tax on customs dealings) into the amount of GST that you are liable to pay under Division 33 of the GST Act, or into the amount of refund to which you are entitled under Division 35 of the GST Act.
21-10 Attribution rules for wine tax 1

The wine tax payable by you on a taxable dealing that is a supply is attributable to the same tax period, or tax periods, applying to you as the tax period or tax periods to which:

 a

if the supply is a taxable supply—the taxable supply is attributable; or

 b

if the supply is not a taxable supply—the supply would be attributable if it were a taxable supply.

For the basic rules on attribution of taxable supplies, see section 29-5 of the GST Act.

 2

The wine tax payable by you on a taxable dealing that is not a supply is attributable to the tax period during which the time of dealing occurs, as specified in column 4 of the Assessable Dealings Table.
21-15 Net amounts reduced by amounts of wine tax credits

Your net amount for a tax period is *reduced by the sum of all of the amounts of wine tax credits (if any) to which you are entitled that arise during that tax period.

Note 1: This section has the effect of incorporating your entitlement to wine tax credits into the amount of GST that you are liable to pay under Division 33 of the GST Act, or into the amount of refund to which you are entitled under Division 35 of the GST Act.

Note 2: If you are not registered or required to be registered (and therefore do not have net amounts), you can claim wine tax credits to which you are entitled directly from the Commissioner (see subsection 17-10(2)).
21-B Members of GST groups
21-40 Who is liable for wine tax 1

Wine tax payable on a taxable dealing for which a *member of a GST group would (apart from this section) be liable to the tax:

 a

is payable by the *representative member; and

 b

is not payable by the member that would be so liable (unless the member is the representative member).

 2

However, if the member is not the *representative member of the GST group, this section only applies to wine tax payable on a customs dealing if the tax is payable at a time when wine tax on *taxable dealings is normally payable by the representative member.

 3

This section has effect despite subsection 5-5(2) (which is about liability for wine tax).
21-45 Who is entitled to wine tax credits 1

If a *member of a GST group would (apart from this section) be entitled to a wine tax credit:

 a

is increased by the amount of any wine tax on *taxable dealings for which the *joint venture operator is liable because of section 21-70; and

 b

is decreased by the amount of any wine tax credits to which the joint venture operator is entitled because of section 21-75.
23 Wine tax on customs dealings
23-1 What this Division is about

Wine tax on a customs dealing is not included in net amounts. Generally speaking, it is paid together with customs duty. (This is consistent with payment of assessed GST on taxable importations.)
23-5 Payment of wine tax on customs dealings 1

Amounts of *assessed wine tax on *customs dealings are to be paid to the Commonwealth:

Note 1: The regulations could (for example) allow for deferral of payments to coincide with payments of assessed net amounts.

27-10 Alteration of wine tax liability or wine tax credit if affected by non-arm’s length transaction 1

This section applies to you if:

 a

you (or your associate) has been a party to a non-arm’s length transaction; and

 b

if the transaction had instead been an arm’s length transaction, it would have been the case (or could reasonably be expected to have been the case) that:

 i

your liability to wine tax on the non-arm’s length transaction, or any other transaction, would have been *increased; or

 ii

your entitlement to a wine tax credit in connection with the non-arm’s length transaction, or any other transaction, would have been *reduced.

 2

The liability or wine tax credit is taken always to have been the amount that it would have been (or could reasonably be expected to have been) if it had been based on an arm’s length transaction instead of on the non-arm’s length transaction.
27-15 Apportionment of global amounts 1

If there is a need to know the price for which particular wine was sold, but the parties have not allocated a particular amount to the wine, the price for which the wine was sold is (for the purposes of the wine tax law) the price for which the wine could reasonably be expected to have been sold if it had been sold separately.

 2

Similarly, if there is a need to know how much of a global amount relates to some other element of a transaction, but the parties have not allocated a particular amount to that element, the amount to be allocated to that element (for the purposes of the wine tax law) is the amount that could reasonably be expected to have been allocated to that element if that element had been the only subject matter of the transaction.
27-20 Commonwealth etc. not liable to pay wine tax 1

The Commonwealth and *untaxable Commonwealth entities are not liable to pay wine tax payable under this Act. However, it is the Parliament’s intention that the Commonwealth and untaxable Commonwealth entities should:

 a

be notionally liable to pay wine tax payable under this Act; and

 b

be notionally entitled to wine tax credits arising under this Act.

 2

The Finance Minister may give such written directions as are necessary or convenient for carrying out or giving effect to subsection (1) and, in particular, may give directions in relation to the transfer of money within an account, or between accounts, operated by the Commonwealth or an untaxable Commonwealth entity.

 2A

(2A) The directions given under subsection (2) may also take account of the provisions of the A New Tax System (Wine Equalisation Tax and Luxury Car Tax Transition) Act 1999.

 3

Directions under subsection (2) have effect, and must be complied with, despite any other Commonwealth law.
27-25 Cancellation of exemptions from wine tax 1

This section cancels the effect of a provision of another Act that would have the effect of exempting a person from liability to pay wine tax payable under this Act.

 2

The cancellation does not apply if the provision of the other Act:

 a

commences after this section commences; and

 b

refers specifically to wine tax payable under this Act.
27-30 Application of the Criminal Code

The Criminal Code applies to all offences against this Act.
27-35 Regulations 1

The Governor-General may make regulations prescribing matters:

required or permitted by this Act to be prescribed; or
